Recently, I've had the same experience with an Oracle DBMS 10gR2 on Win2k and apart from listener.ora and tnsnames.ora (sqlnet.ora, in case) I did not change any files; system is running on production since a couple of months without any problem; I don't remember anything about services.ora: what is this file for ? (sorry for ignorance). A completely different matter is in case of an Oracle Application Server: I've never nedeed to change an hostname with AS but it seems to me it's not a simple (or even possible) task.
