Renaming machine hosting ArcGIS Server

Question

I recently completed the setup/configuration of the WebGIS/Big Data Store and GeoEvent.   ArcGIS/Portal on one machine, Big Data Store on machine two, and GeoEvent on machine three.   Following the setup I discovered that the ArcGIS Server/Portal machine was named incorrectly.   We renamed the machine to meet our naming conventions and now I'm having issues connecting to my ArcGIS server and my Portal.   How do I resolve the name issues?   My initial thought was to unfederate the server/portal, but I'm not sure how to do that when I can't access the Portal.

Hi Jonathan,

Any update on this?. We are undergoing machine name change on ArcGIS 10.6.0. It would be helpful to know more about this.

We have these types of migration related workflows on our radar for 10.6 and on, so it's something we hope to support in the future.

Will changing the portal name ever be supported?  I think this might be extremely helpful when upgrading the software if you want to keep the name intact but install the software on a newer server, as it would drastically reduce the amount of work required to get the new server up and running.
