Description

This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform.

The Rename-Computer cmdlet renames the local computer or a remote computer. It renames one computer in each command.

This cmdlet was introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.

Examples

Example 1: Rename the local computer

This command renames the local computer to Server044 and then restarts it to make the change effective.

Rename-Computer -NewName "Server044" -DomainCredential Domain01\Admin01 -Restart

Example 2: Rename a remote computer

This command renames the Srv01 computer to Server001. The computer is not restarted.

The DomainCredential parameter specifies the credentials of a user who has permission to rename computers in the domain.

The Force parameter suppresses the confirmation prompt.

Rename-Computer -ComputerName "Srv01" -NewName "Server001" -DomainCredential Domain01\Admin01 -Force

Parameters

-ComputerName

Renames the specified remote computer. The default is the local computer.

Type the NetBIOS name, an IP address, or a fully qualified domain name of a remote computer. To specify the local computer, type the computer name, a dot (.), or localhost.

This parameter does not rely on PowerShell remoting. You can use the ComputerName parameter of Rename-Computer even if your computer is not configured to run remote commands.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:Local Computer
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-DomainCredential

Specifies a user account that has permission to connect to the domain. Explicit credentials are required to rename a computer that is joined to a domain.

Type a user name, such as User01 or Domain01\User01, or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the Get-Credential cmdlet.

If you type a user name, this cmdlet prompts you for a password.

To specify a user account that has permission to connect to the computer that is specified by the ComputerName parameter, use the LocalCredential parameter.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type:SwitchParameter

Accept wildcard characters:False

-LocalCredential

Specifies a user account that has permission to connect to the computer specified by the ComputerName parameter. The default is the current user.

Type a user name, such as User01 or Domain01\User01, or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the Get-Credential cmdlet.

If you type a user name, this cmdlet prompts you for a password.

To specify a user account that has permission to connect to the domain, use the DomainCredential parameter.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:Current User
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-NewName

Specifies a new name for the computer. This parameter is required.

Standard names may contain letters (a-z), (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-), but no spaces or periods (.). The name may not consist entirely of digits, and may not be longer than 63 characters

-WsmanAuthentication

Specifies the mechanism that is used to authenticate the user credentials when this cmdlet uses the WSMan protocol. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • Basic
  • CredSSP
  • Default
  • Digest
  • Kerberos
  • Negotiate

The default value is Default.

For more information about the values of this parameter, see AuthenticationMechanism Enumeration.

Warning

Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication, in which the user credentials are passed to a remote computer to be authenticated, is designed for commands that require authentication on more than one resource, such as accessing a remote network share. This mechanism increases the security risk of the remote operation. If the remote computer is compromised, the credentials that are passed to it can be used to control > the network session.

This parameter was introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.

Type:String
Accepted values:Default, Basic, Negotiate, CredSSP, Digest, Kerberos
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

None

This cmdlet has no parameters that take input by value. However, you can pipe the values of the ComputerName and NewName properties of objects to this cmdlet.

Outputs

None

By default, this cmdlet doesn't return any output.

RenameComputerChangeInfo

When you use the PassThru parameter, this cmdlet returns a RenameComputerChangeInfo object.
