Sometimes its a necessity to rename a SQL server or SQL server instance. I had to rename it couple of times in my IT career.
These are steps that I made.
step1 :
exec sp_dropserver ‘oldserver’
exec sp_addserver ‘newserver’,’local’
step2 :
restart the sql server and check whether below query output is same or not .
select @@servername,serverproperty(‘servername’)
step3 : for updating jobs – if you have any
use msdb
go
update sysjobs
set originating_server = serverproperty(‘servername’)
go
Once I used this procedure to rename newly installed SQL server, the second time it was on “production” server.
On the production server, I had to reinstall Reporting Server, because there was no way I could get it going of all the relations to old server name.
But database server, and jobs and connection to renamed server worked.
So, to everybody, good luck!
As I website possessor I believe the content matter here is rattling excellent , appreciate it for your hard work. You should keep it up forever! Good Luck.
Thank you very much for info! I appreciate it!
I have figured out some considerations through your website post. One other point I would like to mention is that there are several games out there designed specially for preschool age small children. They incorporate pattern acknowledgement, colors, dogs, and designs. These generally focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This makes a child occupied without having a sensation like they are studying. Thanks
