Re: How to Change the User Name field in CF Administrator's Info Page
try leaving the domain and then see if CF still reports wrong machine name, will require a reboot. If this fixes the issue, then you can just join the domain again and it will be fine.

Re: How to Change the User Name field in CF Administrator's Info Page
Even sysprepping after ioining a domain is problematic, best not to do it at all, causes neteork issues at the very least I have noticed.

Re: How to Change the User Name field in CF Administrator's Info Page
That means you are running CF under the system account, you can create a dedicated windows user account, and change the ColdFusion service logon identity to be that new account. You will also need to make sure this new user has the appropriate NTFS permissions, see the CF9 lockdown guide for more info on that: http://bit.ly/cf9lockdown -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting Products http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubESB87vl5U - FuseGuard your CFML in 10 minutes Sorry, I neglected to indicate that all our CF servers run under the Local System account with the Allow service to interact with desktop checkbox unchecked. So if all our other servers have the correct User Name value, why is this not the case for our trouble-maker CF server? Do you have any idea? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:356118 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: How to Change the User Name field in CF Administrator's Info Page
I have checked serveral servers that run under system SYSTEM account and all of them say USER: SYSTEM in the cfadmin, not the computer name. so not sure how your getting that. Is the server connected to a domain maybe ? On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 7:19 PM, Eugene Colucci ecolu...@buffalo.edu wrote: did you change the computer name after cloning it ?
