Device rename

[spicysupport]

It would be good if we can rename a device from iOS app or from the web control panel

I would like to see Pulseway automatically update when the NetBIOS name changes. It'd be really awesome if it worked both ways where Pulseway renames change the NetBIOS name and vice versa.

Hi @spicysupport, @Cyb3rBlitzX

The computer name can be changed from the terminal via the Pulseway WebApp using the following instructions.

Note: reboot is required to apply these changes:

And then you will need to update the Computer name into the Pulseway WebApp by executing this command:

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

Regarding NetBIOS name changes - you may create the script which will run locally by the Windows scheduler and this script will check whether the NetBIOS name was changed and if it was, then it may send notification to the Pulseway using this plugin 'Notification Bridge'.

Does changing it that way through Pulseway's terminal actually rename the system in the Pulseway Interace?

@Cyb3rBlitzX,

No it will not rename system. Just a name for that system in Pulseway.
