Host Rename

Question

hi everyone

Just a quick question, I am renaming a bunch of switches and routers at the moment to coinside with a new naming convention.  Solarwinds still displays the old names.  Is there anyway of automatically updating the node name with the hostname?

cheers

If you clear the Node Name field (the Caption column in the Nodes table in the database), the poller should fill in the new name for the switch.
