Hello @olamendel ,

I concur with what @MarceloMarques suggested. To add to that my recommendation (based on personal experience) when changing machine names is that you have to do a fresh install of the software. Why?

The reason is that ArcGIS Enterprise writes the machine name to deep parts of its configuration.

You can change the name of an ArcGIS Server node but not Portal, so you will be stuck with that at least

Hope it helps!
