Starting Up Apple File Service Automatically

Changing the Apple File Server Name
By default, Apple file service registers itself on the network using its IP address, and the
server’s DNS name is the name users see when using the Chooser or the Network Browser.
To change the name of the file server:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Apple and choose Configure Apple File Service.
3 Click the General tab.
4 Type a new name for your server in the Computer Name field and click Save.
The name you enter here must be unique among all computers connected to the network.
Important When you stop Apple file service, connected users may lose unsaved changes in
open files.
