Team: Huntress Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Product: Hostname Change
Environment: Huntress management portal
Summary: Changing the hostname of a machine syncing with Huntress will result in a name change in the Huntress Portal. However, this may be delayed, so check back if you don't see it right away.
If I update a hostname does it automatically get updated in Huntress?
Whenever you update a endpoint's hostname, the endpoint will communicate back to Huntress (typically within 30 minutes) and the agent name will get updated automatically in the Huntress portal.
Please note that this will only happen if the endpoint has been rebooted since the name change took place.
- Rename the endpoint
- Reboot the endpoint
- Wait for the endpoint to sync back with Huntress
