Host Name Character Restriction

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to over come the 13 character specific as the max num of characters allowed in the host name while installing NW

I am trying to install NW2004s.

But my system is having a host name which includes the domain name and obviously goes beyond 13 characters.

Anyway to overcome this.

Thanks in advance

In our firm, every user is mapped to particular domain and the domain name is also attached with the computer name like

computername.domain name.

My question is ..Is there any way to overcome the restriction of 13 characters

because from my side I don't have the privilege to change the computer name which woudl be used as teh host name in EP.

Hi Rosin,

Generally it will look like this:

Computer Name: <name> (max 13 chars)

Domain <domain>

Full computer name: <name>.<domain>

Why your host name includes the domain name?

Also make sure that your computer name (host name) contains alpha-numeric chars.
