Apple Remote Desktop 1.1: Cannot Change Upper or Lower Case of Client Computer Name

Symptom

Apple Remote Desktop allows you to change the AppleTalk name of client computers. If you try to change only the case of a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 client computer name, the attempt fails. The status of the computer will be listed as:

"Error: Command Failed"

Solution

To work around the issue, follow these steps:

1. Change the name of the client computer from the current name you want to a different name you don't want.
2. Change the name back to the name you want, including the desired case.
