WSE 2012 R2: Adopting previous device name and backups after client rebuild

-

i have wse 2012 r2 domain set @ home, , use if client backups. today did fresh install of windows 10 on 1 of clients, windows 8.1. install went well, , it's connected domain. however, i'm unable use previous device name, because still exists in domain. don't want delete old device, need backups. how can use previous computer/device name, , adopt previous backups? don't want lose old backups, or have start backups on again new device. need wse see client computer same previous one.

thanks,

in case else trying same thing, found *can* done. key updating local machine name before attempting join domain. steps:

  1. format hard drive , fresh windows 10 install.
  2. during install, choose owns pc = organization, choose how you'll connect = join domain. 
  3. log in local account created during setup
  4. change machine name desired name, member of workgroup.
  5. run wse connect wizard (\\servername\connect)

the computer recognized replacement, , gets reclaim original domain computer name.

    

hope helps someone.

-jim.
