Rename Machine With SQL Server
Jun 16, 2007
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.

If I change the network name of a machine running MS SQL 7, will the SQL server still work afterwards?
If not, where can I find the procedure to achieve this?
thanks for your suggestions!

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).

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?

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.

I 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?
No nubeez! Xpurts ownli pleez!!

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?

Help!
I am using Script Transformation to output a new column as image[DT_IMAGE]
field to store serialized object. In the VB script, the sample code as
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData ( binaryArrayReturnedFromC#dll )
The package always runs fine on my developing machine and will halt on other
machine at AddBlobData after certain number row records were processed. I am
stuck here. Anyone has any suggestion?
What I need is reading data from mutiple tables in one database and writing
into a single table in another datable. In order preserve all the columns
data, I use input column fields to construct a new object and then serialize
it, and store the serialize data into detination db table. (The object and
serialization function is coming from c# dll.)
Dim b As BusinessLicense = New BusinessLicense()
b.ApprovalDate = Row.approvaldate
b.BusinessId = Row.busid
b.BusinessName = Row.busname
b.NaicsCode = Row.naicscode
b.NaicsDescription = Row.naicsdescr
b.OwnerName = Row.ownername
b.Phone = Row.phone
b.Pkey = Row.pkey
b.RenewalDate = Row.renewaldate
b.StartDate = Row.startdate
b.Suite = Row.suite
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData(Serializer.Serialize(b)) '''----This is blocking line
Row.infoType = BusinessLicense.TYPE
Both machine is xp with sp2. and standard SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06
Thanks!

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 to everyone,
I'm facing a problem that drives me crazy. I've a web application that has the following problem. When I test the application on my developement machine all runs fine, but when I put into production server there is a problem in connection pooling. Look at the following image, the blue line is the number of connection in the pool and the violet line is the number of connection reclaimed. From the image it is clear that connection are returned on the pool only in block, maybe when the garbage collection pass and reclaim the object. The strange thing is that on my developement machine all is good, and also I'm using Enterprise Library and the connection are managed internally.- Thanks to everyone for any help.

Hullo all
I have two machines,
One is a standalone machine and the other is on a domain network. How can I run a stored procedure/job on the standalone machine from the domain machine ?
running the procedure as a Domain user results in a failed job/stored proc.
also creating an sql login and attempting to run it as that user also fails. How can I solve this problem ?
please e-mail me at wayde@sunnygrp.com if you have any thoughts...

Hi there.
Sorry 'bout my bad english.
Is there any possibility, to change the current server name from the stuctureview in the Enterprise Manger. I'm registering a lot of online-servers from my customers. The remote servername is fixed of course, but I want to change it local, to explain it a little bit better
(e.g. "W2KSQLSRV" -> "CustomerXY")
Can someone give me a hint, please?
Thanx.

Scenario 1:
Windows 2000 Server
SQL Server 2000 with default name installation.
When we change the Windows Server name the SQL Server jobs becomes non editable.
Scenario 2:
Does this situation still exists for the following configuration?
Windows Server 2003
SQL Server 2005.
Question 1: I am planning to move the SQL Server from 2000 to 2005 as described in scenario 1 to scenario 2. Does changing the server name have any impact on previously created jobs? Does the jobs becomes non editable.
Question 2: Is it possible to have two servers with same name on a network? If possible, please elaborate.
Thank you,
Smith
