Rename workstation name (in Pulseway) from web app

[bdoadmin]

I know how to rename the agent name (not computer name) from the computer itself, but how do I do it without physically accessing that machine (using web app)? Thanks.

Hi @bdoadmin,

You may change the system in Pulseway remotely by using the Pulseway Dashboard or using the Powershell command from the Pulseway WebApp -> Systems -> Systems ->select the required system -> PowerShell terminal and run the following command:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name ComputerName -Value "New_Name_for_the_system"

Let us know how it goes.

We have found this script very useful

Hi @Chris and co. Any idea why this doesn't work anymore? I've been using it frequently ever since this post but now it just hangs (webapp variant of it). Thanks.

Anyone? Even my official support ticket on this has gone unanswered 😑

Hi @xyzadmin

We just ran the script on one of our pc's and it seems to be in working order, Can you forward me your Support ticket to that I can elevate it. 

Thanks a mill,

Works fine for us as well - I've used the script over the past few days, renaming all of our PCs so they're easy to identify.

Hi, I tried this for Windows User (endpoint), but it doesn't work for MacOS endpoint. Does the command is different?
