Hi I have downloaded sap Netweaver 7.01 ABAP Trial version.But I tried to Install it and getting error message which says that host name exceeds 13 character and to resolve that SAP Note(611361) has also been mentioned. I have gone through that and resolved the hostname issue but still getting the same issue. I am fresher to BASIS. My machine H/W is Intel Core2duo processor, 4GM RAM,320 HDD.OS Windows server 2008. This is as per the system requirement to install the product. Please help me to troubleshoot the issue.

The steps which I have gone through to resolve the issue is by using netdom command since I am using Windows 2008 server. Initially my uninstallation procedure was incorrect.Thts why I was getting the error.

Hi Deepak,

Should I format my PC and then start fresh installation? I have already done so but still getting same error. As per guidelines registry needs to be cleaned if someone try to install again in the same H/W. I have done the things as per guidelines but still getting the same error! Please help.

Hi Raman,

I hope now you changed the hostname as mentioned in that note. As Deepak said, please restart your PC and install from the scratch.

Hi Raman,

You need to rectify the hostname. Clear the old installation and start fresh installation.
