Change the appliance host name to the correct format using Configuration Wizard. For instructions refer to the Configuration Wizard reference manual in the Document Library.
Additionally, update the following:

- Persistent Agent Settings distributed to end stations specifying the hostname for agent communication (HomeServer, Allowed Servers).
