Windows remembers this comment field regardless of what the server is
actually called now, at least in certain versions. If you do a registry
search for that string on the workstation you will find a section that lists
the comment. Also, try looking in your nethood directory, one of these two
locations will have it. You simply clear out references to the old long
name.
I used to have this myself where a previous admin had called our server
'Samba Mania' and I couldn't clear it until I brought in a new
machine that
had never known about 'Samba Mania' and they referred to the machine as
the
proper name. I went looking and dug up the location that had it. Sorry I
can't be exact, those machines have all been long gone so I can't tell
you
exactly where it is.
