Hmmm... from my standpoint, I don't see why not.
You'd have to take "Metaframe" out of the farm & unplug it from the =
network, rename it "Metaframe2" & redo it's IP, and reset the computer =
account in AD.   Reboot it then with the NIC plugged back into the =
network, and if all the apps are installed in the exact place as the =
previous one, it shouldn't be noticeable to the users. =20

I believe the published apps go by name & IP addy, not MAC address or =
anything.  Does anyone know if I am wrong?

That doesn't sound like what I am talking about, this is from a Disaster
recovery standpoint, there will not be an opportunity to remove this =
server
from a farm since it has crashed.  What I want to do is replace the =
crashed
server, in this case Metaframe2, with a spare server.  I want to put the
spare server online, give it the same name and IP as the crashed server =
and
know if it will be seamless to the users.


Can this be done?

Thanks,

Collin White

Hello everyone:  Is it possible to rename a Metaframe Server?  For =
Example I
have a Windows 2000 SP2 Metaframe XP FR1 Server called Metaframe2, I =
just
built another server the same configuration and it is called Metaframe.  =
Is
it possible to take Metaframe2 offline, put Metaframe Online, change =
it's IP
address to the same as Metaframe2, and then rename it to Metaframe2.  =
Will
this work?  I ask because I would like to use this as a disaster =
recovery
procedure, server crashes, put a spare online.


Thanks,



Collin White
