Exchange2007:Edge Transport Role

After I installed the Edge Transport Role, I changed the computer name from the automatically-generated name to a meaningful-name. However, Exchange Management Console shows "Your Exchange organization has no servers with the Edge Transport server role installed." When I run the New-EdgeSubscription, error message shows:



[PS] C:\Windows\System32>New-EdgeSubscription -file "c:\edgesubscription.xml"

New-EdgeSubscription : When running this task inside the organization, the sit parameter is required.

At line:1 char:21+ New-EdgeSubscription <<<< -file "c:\edgesubscription.xml"



How do I change the computer name back if I don't remember the old computer name?



Event Viewer --System

The NetBIOS name and DNS host name of this machine have been changed from WIN-UUNQIEUZCTN to EDGECOMPUTER.Event.



The old computer name is WIN-UUNAIEUZCTN.



Change the computer name back to WIN-UUNAIEUZCTN.


Observation: don't rename your computer name after you install Exchange Server.
