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? -----Original Message----- From: White, Collin [mailto:cwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 1:29 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Renaming a Metaframe Server 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.
