The least disruptive is to simply turn off BOB. Stop the IMA service on
SAM, rename server to BOB and reboot and remove any published apps for SAM.
Remove the server SAM by right-clicking and remove server.

Subject: [THIN] Dance of the servers ... Need some guidance
OK I have a farm (ee-eye ee-eye oh). In this farm I have 4 servers
running Windows 2003 and MPS 3.0, and the directly connect to an MS SQL
Server datastore. One of the servers is called BOB, which is a server I
need to remove from the farm because he goes back to his leasing company
later this month. I have another server called SAM who is in the farm,
who is BOB's replacement. When I pull BOB, I want to rename SAM to BOB
and have him still be part of the farm.
What's the least disruptive way to do this?
My proposed plan is this:
1. Remove all published applications from BOB and SAM.
2. Remove the Metaframe software from BOB, thus removing him from the
farm.
3. Remove BOB from the domain and turn him off.
4. Remove SAM from the farm. (How should I do this? I don't want to
remove Metaframe. Using CHFARM?)
5. Remove SAM from the domain.
6. Rename SAM to BOB.
7. Add BOB to the domain.
8. Add BOB to the existing farm (using the CHFARM command, I presume?)
Will this strategy work? Are there pitfalls?
