Synchronize display names with computer names option
The Deployment Server can use a console display name that is different from the actual computer
name. However, the console can always reflect the same name as the computer name.
To manually enable synchronization of the display and computer names:
1. In the Deployment Server Console, click Tools>Options.
2. Click the Global tab.
3. Select the Synchronize display names with computer names.
4. Click OK.

1. In the Deployment Server Console, click Tools>Options.
2. Click the Global tab.
