All you have to do is use the same "Wizard" that you used to create the "Service" and update instead of create. This let's you change the node name used by the service.

Our experience with renamed Windows nodes indicates that the scheduler service locks in the node name in effect at the time when dsmcutil was used to create the service. I don't know whether this behavior is documented. The service presumably uses the registry to store the node name. When a Windows node is renamed, we tell the system administrator do remove and recreate the service. ##################################### This message is for the named person's use only.
