Changing hostname?

[BamBamm]

I am using 9.3 on CIFs.
Everything seems to be working great.
However, I need to change the hostname from FREENAS to something else.
i.e. it shows up on windows file explorer as FREENAS or I can type \\FREENAS into a browser and it brings up the server. But I want to see it as FamilyServer...

I looked in the manual and didn't see anything nor can I find a good post on it on these forums or google. Maybe I am searching the wrong criteria?

On the first screen when you log in to the web GUI, the hostname has an edit button next to it. Seems like the obvious place to start.

So editing freenas.local with FamilyServer.local will read FamilyServer in the network?

There's a separate setting under CIFS.

Got it, thank you.
I obviously had to restart the server before the settings became active.
Just thought I would toss that out there, in case there's another user with this issue.

Actually, no, just restarting the service would have done it.

Well, I restarted anyways!
