Hi I'm facing this issue on that I've used a batch file to change my client PC's name running on Windows XP Service pack 3 & it did it's job. But the Active Directory didn't register the change even after a restart was done on the Windows XP. Is there any script, command I can run on the server side to let it register the new PC names? Any useful suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
 
you could try running gpupdate /force from a command line that is going to refresh any policies, which could do the trick
 
Like previously mentioned, the local name will not update server side until it is refreshed through policy.
