Solved SaltStack rename minion ?

have you tried changing the ID setting on the minion? I don't believe that that will rename it on the server after being joined, but it is where you would start.

@scottalanmiller -- are you talking about the /etc/salt/minion_id file ?

@msff-amman-Itofficer Do you have one administrator username and password across all computers?
Currently no, but if you have an idea share it as well, cause I can create 1 user account and 1 password across all computers using salt master
