    SCCM 2007 : Changing your name/description of your secondary sites

    Today I ran into a weird customer question.They wanted to change the description on their secondary sites.

    After some investigation I found a way of doing this without having to reinstall the entire secondary sites.

    To do this , you must : 

    1. Stop the SMS executive service.
    2. Open the C:\Program Files\SCCM\Inboxes\SiteCtrl.Box\sitectrl.cto file.
    3. At the top of the file , you find your sitecode and below that you'll find the site desciption.
    4. Change the name and save the file.
    5. Restart the SMS Exec service.
    6. The site name/Description has changed.

    However , this method is NOT supported by Microsoft !

    This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties ! Test it first into a TEST environment !

    Hope it Helps ,
