Description

The rename operation updates any references to the machine when a ArcGIS Server site is renamed. This operation is not automatically called when a registered machine's name is changed. Rather, you must manually call this operation aftering changing a machine's name.

By default, when any server machine that participates in a site is restarted, it can identify a name change. When it does, it updates itself and all its references.
