Ping32 supports modifying the endpoint name through Management Console modification or endpoint agent user independent modification to meet the needs of different scenarios for unified operation and maintenance management and personalized endpoint identification.

  • Ping32 Management Console modification: The administrator can modify the endpoint name directly in the Management Console
  • Endpoint Agent self-modification: The endpoint user fills in the information, and the administrator synchronizes it to the endpoint name with one click.

Manual modification of Ping32 Management Console (administrator operation)

  1. Enter Endpoint List on the homepage of the server Management Console.
  2. Right-click the target endpoint and select Modify Endpoint Name

FAQ: Unable to modify endpoint name

If the modification fails, it is usually related to the "Endpoint Parameter Display Rules". You can check by following these steps:

1. Right-click on a blank space in the endpoint list 2. Select Show 3. Check if Use computer name as endpoint name is checked 4. If it is checked, it is recommended to uncheck and try to modify it again.
Note: After enabling "Use computer name as endpoint parameter", the endpoint name may be overwritten by computer name rules, resulting in Management Console-side modifications not taking effect or displaying abnormally.

Endpoint Agent modification (end user fills in independently)

This method is suitable for scenarios where the end user needs to fill in information such as name/job number/department by themselves and synchronize it into the endpoint name.

1. Enter More Functions -> User Information in the server Management Console. 2. Click Settings, select Select Endpoint in the lower left corner, and enable Allow endpoints to submit user information 3. After enabling, the endpoint agent will pop up a prompt window for filling in information, and the end user can fill in the information according to the prompts. 4. After the information is synchronized to User Information List, click Synchronize and select Synchronize Endpoint Name to synchronize the information filled in by the user to the endpoint name.

"Force endpoint to change user information" option description

Uncheck "Force":
  • After selecting endpoints in batches, the endpoints whose information has been filled in will not pop up again.
  • Only fill in the endpoint prompts if information has not been filled in
Check "Force":
  • Even if the information has been filled in on the endpoint, a pop-up window will pop up again to prompt you to refill it.

Endpoint Agent side performance

A window for filling in the endpoint name/user information will pop up on the endpoint agent desktop. If the user closes the pop-up window manually:
  • After restarting the endpoint agent computer, the pop-up window will appear again (to ensure that the information can be filled in).
