FactoryTalk Directory: Log on to FactoryTalk

After renaming a computer, (or after redeploying an image), you may get a message: "Log on to FactoryTalk" message.

Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Rockwell\SilentFTDCW.exe"
This program will default your FactoryTalk Directory to use localhost instead of the old machine name, and you should no longer be prompted for this upon application startup.
