What company information can I change?

  • Article

Applies To: Windows SBS 2008

Your company information was set during the installation. If there is no company information listed, the text boxes on the Company information page of the installation are blank.

You may change any of the information on the Change company information page. However, in most cases, the information is not updated in the server applications and other places where the information is used. You must manually update the company information in the preconfigured default settings. The following table lists where the company information is used, what field information is used, and whether it is automatically updated.
