Do I have to do anything when hostname (servername) with SQL Server 2005 install was changed from OLDNAME to NEWNAME? If yes, what need to be done and syntax? I notice it under SYSSERVERS table still contain the OLDNAME.
EX. TEST1PROD01 was changed to TEST2PROD01
Thanks,

When using the MS SQL 2005 JDBC driver, I now need to have the DNS nameresolution to the client correctly set up. If not I get the followingerror:SQLState: 08S01SQLError: 0Message: hostname : hostnameWhere "hostname" is the client host name. It doesn't seem to matter ifIuse an IP address or hostname in my connection URL. When searching thenet,I have seen a similar error, but not exactly the same, where themessage is"Hostname: hostname not found" (once again, here "hostname" is theclientmachine) where they suggested the issue was the DNS name conflict.I found the error goes away if the client machine's hostname match theDNSname used for the same IP addess that the DB server is using. Onework-around is to set hostname on the client to the IP address beingused.I know the right thing to do is set the hostname and the DNS namelookup thesame, but I have a customer who doesn't want to do this. They didn'thave tofor 2003, and they don't want to for 2005. Sigh. Is there a way todisablethis feature?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am installing SQL Server 2005 on a couple of servers where the windows server will later be renamed. One is a default instance, and one is a named instance.
Does anyone have a procedure for this, or know any gotchas for 2005? I have done this for SQL 2000 many times, but never of 2005.
Books Online seems to say you just rename the server, and everything will be OK.
I know how to rename the server internally with sp_dropserver and sp_dropserver. It looks like you no longer have to update originating_server in msdb.dbo.sysjobs, because it was replaced by originating_server_id.
Got links?

Dear all,
I have a SQL 2005 server with named instance on a Windows 2003 Server.
We have renamed the Windows 2003 server and SQL2005 server
We follow the step from the following link below
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx
and the result is good and we can select @@SERVERNAME to get the new server name.
However, when we check for the login, (sp_helpuser) with the old servername
for eg,
OLDSERVERSQLServer2005MSFTEUser$OLDSERVER$INSTANCE
How can I update these name to get the correct server name. Please kindly advise

Hi everyone,
my SQL is running TCPIP and everytime I register the server from a client, I have to enter in the IP address. Can I use a hostname to map an IP address to a server name and then enter the server name to register the server?
Thanks..Binh
Is possible block access to sql server database, from hostame (pc name). I know only the hostname and not the user.
Is possible?
Thanks

if my computer name is x and sql server was installed and therefore took on the default name of x, can I change the sql server name to y at a later date while the computer name remains as x? If so how do I do it?
The sp_addserver is internal recognition. But I want to connect to sql server using the new name y.
I am assuming setup needs to be run only if computer name also changes to y and this is not the case.
Any help is appreciated.
To all,
I would like to rename my SQL server. Someone suggested SQLServer and we went with it, but after some discussions with other developers we thought that this name would be a hackers delight. So now I need to rename it to something that wouldn't put a "bulls eye" on its back. Any suggestions? :-)
This machine is not in production just yet, so if I had to reinstall SQL it wouldnt' be that bad of an option.
Thnx.

I am using SQL Server 2005 in a test environment and I want to rename the server to match my production environment. Currently the name is the same as my computer name. Can it be changed? Do I have to change my computer name? (My computer is not on the same network so it is possible).

Seems like I remember there is a problem when your rename a SQL server.
Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks

We are using sql server 2000
Problem:
========
A few records in a particular table are getting updated with incorrect values everyday somehow by some process. No one is manually changing these records.
Every morning I query the database and fix these records. But somehow they again get set to the incorrect values.
So I want to figure out how this is happening. I'm thinking of creating an update trigger on that table. And whenever this update trigger is fired, check the modified record's id and if it is the problematic record, then get the hostname, username, processid which is doing this update.
Can someone give me ideas on how to get the hostname, username.
Any other ideas are also appreciated
Thanks in Advance!
Hi everyone,
ON SQL 7.0
I want to capture hostname of the client computer making changes to a table on the server. I tried to use sysprocesses table, but the max(last_batch) column is giving the datetime and hostname of previously ran query. I need to find the hostname of the client who is making change at that instant of time.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks

Hi,
Question:
How do I get the hostname from the instance name please?
My present design at present is something as follows:
We have several sql server 2005 machines
i.e.
ServerSQLA, ServerSQLB, etc....
Each machine may have one or more instances,
i.e.
ServerSQLAinstace1
ServerSQLAinstace2, etc...
The server name in this case is ServerSQLA
Instance naming and node convention is different for clusters
i.e.
C_ServerSQLAinstance1
C_ServerSQLAinstance2
on the node(s):
N_ServerSQLA or N_ServerSQLB
Thanks

Hi,
I was looking to a server which was renamed from A_old to A_new.
but the problem is the system table still shows an entry with A_old and is taking this as a local server name.
Any ideas how to do this?Do I have to stop the services for this?run setup again?and then sp_dropserver and sp_addserver is the answer to this?or there is any other solution to it?
Note:this is a productionBox.
Any thoughts appreciated?
Hi,
We have server 'A' as production 6.5 db server. We plan to copy over & restore sytem/user db backups to server 'B'.
and then we plan to rename Serer B to Server A. Could anyone please advice what needs to be configured on SQL 6.5 to handle the Rename.
Thanks,
I have change the name of my host by "network neighborhood"
and user sp_dropserver and sp_addserver.
But when rebooting the host, I have this following message.
"Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been
tampered with (unknown package id). Please run setup."
But I change the name of the hostanme to the former name, there
is no error.
Please, can you advise me something ?
We have an NT 4.0 member server in a production domain which has SQL 6.5 loaded with a number of databases. There is a requirement to rename the NT server to another name. Will we have to reinstall SQL and reload any databases after the server is renamed? If not - are there any other considerations/registry changes necessary to ensure SQL will run correctly?
Thank you for assistance.
We have a new SQL Server 2005 box in place and we named this server - Server2. Restored all the production databases from original Server1. Server1 is running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. Server1 also has three subscribers ServerA, ServerB, and ServerC.
After Server2 was renamed to Server1 and Server1 decommissioned, replication is not working on the new Server1 due to the renaming issue. I can afford to re do replication from ground up on Server1 but cannot reinstall SQL Server 2005 and start from scratch since the server is already in production.
How can I resolve this issue? What is the right approach to take for the scenario described above?
I have an app that has some stored procedures running queries across a linked server. In our development environment, the linked database is on a box called 10.xxx.xxx.xx. In the production environment, the linked database will be on a server called something else. What I want to do is have the linked server in the development environment named the same thing as the linked server in the production environment, so that I won't have to change the stored procedures when migrating the project into production.
SQL Server 2005 isn't giving me the option to rename or alias the linked server, though. Is there anyway to do this so that I can have the linked server named the same thing on the two different boxes and not have to change the sp's?
I'm trying to write a script to run after changing the computer name of a machine running SQL Server 2005. I know about the article on the SQL Developer center that talks about sp_dropserver and sp_addserver. My question is about the Windows groups that are created with the machine name embedded inside (e.g. MACHINENAMESQLServer2005MSFTEUser$MACHINENAME$MSSQLSERVER).
Do I need to worry about these? If the answer is no because the name of the group is irrelevant, how do I go about changing the machine name for the login (i.e. the MACHINENAME in front of the slash)? I don't want to hardcode these group names into my script.
Thanks for any help.
Hi!
Can something tell me how I can obtain the machine name (either IP address or DNS name) on which SQL Server is running via a SQL query?
select @@version returns a lot of useful information, however it doesn't return the host name.
thanks in advance

Hello all,
I'm having trouble with my Merge Replication setup in regards to changing the HostName property of the SqlCeReplication object. As we all know, if you modify the HostName value, you must then call the ReinitializeSubscription(true) method before calling Synchronize(). Unfortunately, this isn't working for me. Following this sequence of steps consistently results in error messages saying that I need to either call ReinitializeSubscription, or change my HostName back to it's original value. Has anyone ever experienced this problem?
Regards,
Rob Tiffany
