[Macpartners] OS X server rename

[Stuart Kiang]

Mateja,

We followed those instructions and made the change, and everything 
(hallelujah!) seems to be working normally. I checked NetInfo, and the 
two references to the old IP address within it had both been changed 
automatically by the script.

Thanks for the help!
