Step 1: Stop the PIM+ service​

  1. Go to Services (services.msc).
  2. Right-click the PIM+ service and choose Stop.
  3. Confirm that the service status is Stopped.

Step 2: Open sites.dat​

  1. Open the PIM+ installation folder on the server, for example:
    • C:\Program Files\PIM+\
    • or an other path (if you use a non-default path)
  2. Open the file sites.dat with Notepad (or another plain text editor).

Step 3: Change the Local Site Name​

  1. In sites.dat, locate the <site> block for your local site.
  2. Find the <name> element inside that block.
  3. Change the value between the <name> tags to the desired Local Site Name.
