As long as you do the rename before you install SQL.  Renaming a SQL server
requires a SQL re-install.

Good luck,

Subject: [windows2000] Replacing/Renaming a server



I have a server named Server1 that I am replacing.  I have the new =
server I am replacing it with that evewntually needs to become Server1.

Server1 is a member server in an Windows 2000 domain with Active =
Directory in place and running well.  MS SQL Server 7 is currently =
running on Server1

I would like to bring the new server up as Server2 and get it loaded up =
and patched etc.  Can I then just turn off the old server and rename the =
new one to that name or is there more to it than that?

Thanks!

Greg
