Solution - To rename a computer that hosts a stand-alone instance of SQL Server
For a renamed computer that hosts a default instance of SQL Server, run the following procedures:
Check if name is the old server name
SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name';
Run following command
sp_dropserver 'old_name'; GO sp_addserver 'new_name', local; GO
- Restart the SQL Server service
- Check new name of server
SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name';
For a renamed computer that hosts a named instance of SQL Server, run the following procedures
Check if name is the old server name
SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name';
Run following command
sp_dropserver 'old_name\instancename'; GO sp_addserver 'new_name\instancename', local; GO
- Restart the SQL Server service
- Check new name of server
SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name';
Additional Considerations
Remote Logins - If the computer has any remote logins, running sp_dropserver might generate an error similar to the following:
Server: Msg 15190, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dropserver, Line 44 There are still remote logins for the server 'SERVER1'.
To resolve the error, you must drop remote logins for this server.
