Assigning a Custom Name
To make it easier to identify an element instance in the system, assign the instance a Custom
Name. The Custom Name also appears in Chargeback Manager.
IMPORTANT: Do not assign a custom name during "Get Topology" or "Get Details." You can
determine if the management server is getting the topology or all element details by looking at
label near the status button.
NOTE: Since all users query the same database, this name is displayed to others using the
software. As a result, you might want to make them aware of the name.
1. Access the Custom Name field by doing one of the following:
• Double-clicking a Microsoft Exchange instance in System Manager and then clicking the
Properties tab.
