Hi,

As far as I know, Registry Key optionalnames still works on Windows Server 2008.

Actually, if you run "netdom computername PCNAME /add" command, it will add alias to optionalnames Key.

You may have to create the following too.

  1. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
  2. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
    Value name: DisableStrictNameChecking
    Data type: REG_DWORD
    Radix: Decimal
    Value: 1

If there is any error, please let us know the detailed error message/symptom.

Thanks.
