Untested: from ctypes import * ComputerNamePhysicalDnsHostname = 5 computer_name = u'COMPUTER' success = windll.kernel32.SetComputerNameExW(ComputerNamePhysicalDnsHostname, computer_name) if success: print("Name changed") else: print("Failed") The process will need admin rights, and the computer will need to be rebooted before the change will take effect. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
