    Can anyone tell me how to change the name of a user on her PC, when it also affects everyone on server:

    [[The current name is Sabrina and needs to be changed to Toni - she switched PCs]]

    Name................................................. Comments ..........................Network Location
    ----------............................................... ---------------- .........................------------------------
    Backup on Ed .....................................\\ED\Backup ........................Local Network
    c on Sabrina (Sabrina)......................... \\sabrina\c ............................Local Network
    My Documents on Ed.......................... \\ED\My Documents ..............Local Network
    NetPro on Ed...................................... \\ED\Netpro ...........................Local Network
    Real Estate on Ed................................ \\ED\Real Estate ...................Local Network
    Sabrina Madison on Sabrina (Sabrina).... \\Sabrina\Sabrina Madison ......Local Network
    SharedDocs on Glynis.......................... \\Glynis\SharedDocs ...............Local Network
    SharedDocs on Sabrina (Sabrina).......... \\Sabrina\SharedDocs ..............Local Network
    toni_c on toni....................................... \\Toni\toni_c ............................Local Network

    Sabrina quit and Toni moved to Sabrina's desk and PC (newer PC than hers)
    Is there a simple solution to changing the name of the PC from Sabrina to Toni?
    And also the Network?
    Simple enough to hash out the instructions in this venue?

    Thank you
    :confused:

    Copy Toni in the user manager and give it sabrina's name.

    I'm sorry Kodo.

    I'm an idiot I guess.
    I dont understand what that means.

    Copy Toni?

    yes

    user manager > mark Toni and do ctrl + c then ctrl + v (think that'll work) then you should have two Toni's. just rename the second one to [whatever u want]
