Changing the pdserver name

Use this procedure to change the name of the InfoPrint Manager pdserver.

If InfoPrint Manager is installed in the recommended location, you can find the var folder in C:\ProgramData\Ricoh\InfoPrint Manager. If InfoPrint Manager is installed in a custom location, you can find the var folder in the installation path. VAR_PATH is the path to the var folder.

To change the pdserver name, follow these steps:

1. Stop all running pdservers. For interoperating systems, stop all pdservers from all interoperated machines.
2. Stop the InfoPrint Manager Control Service. Make sure you have the access rights to do it:

   net stop InfoPrintManagerControlService

3. From a command line terminal, clear the namespace:

   clrfstns

4. Reset the fst.ports:

   pdinitports -n, where n is the number of necessary ports (usually 10)

5. For InfoPrint Manager versions later than 4.12.0, use File Explorer to remove the VAR_PATH\var\pd\pdserver.conf file.
6. Remove the old_server_name file from the VAR_PATH\var\pd\old_server_name\pdb\spooler directory.
7. Rename the VAR_PATH\var\pd\old_server_name folder to VAR_PATH\var\pd\new_server_name.
8. Open regedit.exe, the Windows registry.
   1. Change the Server Name from old_server_name to new_server_name in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/RICOH/InfoPrint Manager/PDServers/old_server_name.
   2. Rename HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/RICOH/InfoPrint Manager/PDServers/old_server_name to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/RICOH/InfoPrint Manager/PDServers/new_server_name.
9. Start the InfoPrint Manager Control Service. Make sure you have the access rights to do it:

   net start InfoPrintManagerControlService

10. Start or Restart the InfoPrint Manager Management Console and InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI to ensure that all changes have been successfully applied.
