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.
• Clicking a Microsoft Exchange instance under the Microsoft Exchange node in Application
Viewer and then clicking the Properties tab.
2. In the Custom Name field, type a name.
Keep in mind the following:
• The name must contain 1 to 64 characters.
• The name must begin with a letter. Any character other than the first character can be a
letter, a number (0 to 9), or one of the following symbols: dollar sign ($), caret (^), hyphen
(-), an underscore (_) or a space.
• The name is case sensitive, for example, "Element1" and "element1" are different elements.
3. Click Save.
Properties of a Microsoft Exchange Host

The following properties are displayed:
• Custom Name - To make it easier to identify the element instance in the system, assign the
instance a Custom Name. The Custom Name also appears in Chargeback. 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. For more information about adding a
Custom Name, refer to "Assigning a Custom Name" in the User Guide.
