    Hello,

    throughout EV migrations, restores etc. the following rule must be followed:

    - ComputerNameAlternate can be changed

    - ComputerName must be kept the same

    So on DNS level, I would delete/recreate record for "EVserver" (as a C name), pointing to A record for a new HW hostname.

    Then during migration, follow steps with ComputerEntry table update (see EV documentations)

    regards
