Persistent naming with Windows 2008 R2 native drivers

Question

Hello, I have activated persistent naming as recommended in 'Configuring Tape Devices for EMC NetWorker Technical Note'. After activation I got device names like Tape2147483646. For better clarity in administration of devices I prefer short device names like Tape0. For IBM drivers I found a thread in EMC community network (Can anyone help with this error) how to change the persistent device name. On my Windows 2008 R2 storage nodes, where I use the native drivers for LTO tape drives, I didn't find a way to customize the device name. Does anyone know how to change the persistent device name, when using the native Windows 2008 R2 drivers? My networker landscape: Networker Server:      Windows 2003 R2 latest SP with Networker 7.6.5.1 Storage Nodes:         Windows 2003 R2 latest SP with Networker 7.6.5.1                                Windows 2008 R2 latest SP with Networker 7.6.5.1 Tape Library:             Quantum Scalar i500 with IBM LTO4 tape drives
