Configuring host name and domain settings
You must assign a host name for the appliance. It is recommended that you change the host name before starting
backups. By default, the host name is the system name that the operating system assigns.
NOTE:
If you plan to change the host name, it is recommended that you change the host name at this
stage. Changing the host name after completing the AppAssure Appliance Configuration wizard requires
you to perform several steps.
To configure the host name and domain settings:
1. On the Configure host name and domain setting page, in New host name text box enter an appropriate host
name.
2. If you do not want to connect your appliance to a domain, select No in Do you want this appliance to join a
domain?
NOTE:
If your DL1300 is installed with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Foundation edition, the option
to join a domain will be disabled.
