Windows adminsitrators at our site occasionally rename existing Windows systems. We almost never specify node names in dsm.opt files for Windows client; we let the client use the machine name as the node name. When a Windows client is renamed the client scheduler service continues to use the old node name, presumably because the node name was recorded in the registry when the service was created. We have always been able to clean this up by removing and recreating the service. We did not need to deinstall the client software or manually remove registry keys.
