5. Click OK.

In Backup Exec for Windows Servers, the Update Configuration for New Media Server Name option enables an administrator to update the name of a media server if it has been changed, without having to re-install Backup Exec.
The domain name can also be updated if the media server is in a different domain.
Caution: Using Update Configuration for New Media Server Name does not change the media server name in existing backup selection lists.
If this task is used to update the media server name, all the selection lists that back up data from that media server must be recreated. Otherwise, the backup jobs will fail.
In addition, when creating a restore job that targets the original media server, all data being restored must be redirected to the newly named media server.
To use the Update Configuration for New Media Server Name task:
Location of Beutility : X:\program files\symantec\backup exec, where X is the drive where Backup Exec is installed
1. Start BEUtility.
2. Select a media server from either a media server group or from the All Media Servers subnode that has been renamed.
3. On the task pane, under Services Tasks, click Update Configuration for New Media Server Name. (Figure 1)
