How do you rename a SQL server?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter I renamed the server. Jobs that exsisted before I renamed the server are still associated with the original server name. It has associated those jobs with the original server and assumes that the original server is the MSX server. I do not have multiple instances running on the server and do not want it that way. Is there a way to change the originating server? Or remove the MSX server?
HELP!
We need to rename our server.
Example
SERVER_A renamed to SERVER_B and
SERVER_B renamed to SERVER_A
It is easy enough to change the NT box name. Other than using sp_DropServer and sp_AddServer, is there any other changes (updates) we need to make to SQL server or any system tables???
TIA,
Chris
HelloI am wondering if this is able to be done and what implications there wouldbe with SQL Server.Server1 name: Production Currently running Windows NT and SQL 7instance name is ProductionServer2 name: Test Currently running Windows 2000 andSQL 2000, instance name is Test - default installationBring the Server1 offline and rename Server 2 with the name of Production.Do we have to change the instance name in SQL now on Server 2? If so can wedo this? I didn't think you could change a instance name and had toreinstall SQL.Another Question:Can you have 2 instances of SQL with the same name but reside on differentservers?ThanksSher

I have a Windows 2003 server box running SQL 2000 and BizTalk 2006. I need to change the name of the underlying server, could anyone point me in the right direction of what I would need to change in terms of SQL and BizTalk config to make it all sit happily with this?

I am experiencing a big problem with my prod server.I renamed my production server as my test sever (abc) and the test server to (xyz) in sql 2000.
Now, when I connect from my test server to my prod server, it does not seem to see the new server even I put the new server name. It still sees the databases what is in the test server, not the new server databases.
How can I resolve this?
Please help. Thank you all.
Greetings,
Just dotting my 'i's & crossing my 't's here - what potential ramifications
are there in the renaming (as in changing the NetBIOS name) of an SQL 6.5
server? From what I can gather, it is as simple as performing the rename,
and then doing some minor config changes afterwards (i.e. unregistering the
old server entry within SEM and re-registering the server under the new
name) The main SQL application that is installed can be configured easily
enough but I just want to make absolutely sure that there aren't any
NBName-specific entries embedded in the Registry, MASTER.dat, or anywhere
else that will cause me grief once the change is made.
I've browsed through TechNet & Books Online but haven't as yet found a nice
definitive Q-Article which describes the exact procedure & potential
ramifications.
TIA,
RM
Hello,
I just read the thread on renaming the server, and running setup. My question is how do I rerun setup? SQL 7 was installed from the Back Office cd and when I try to run setup it tells me that my SQL Server is corrupted and I need to run setup. If I run Setup from the MSSQL7 directory, it wants to "upgrade" to standard edition. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Robin
Hello,
I read few of the archive article about this, but I would like to verify this again.
We currently have Sqlesrver 6.5 running on Intel NT 4.0.
We would like to rename the server.
Is there any problem I'll need to look out for?
I am planning to rename the Nt server and reboot.
Thanks,

This is a cross posting with:

Is it possible to rename a database in SQL Server 2000? If
not, is it possible to copy the tables and relationship diagram
from one to another? The database is new, so there are no records
to copy. I just want to rename it, because redoing the tables would
take too much energy (<----Lazy). :)

We need to move a cluster to a new data center. There is a strong preference to retain the previous SQL Virtual Name. The existing cluster has a single default instance. We understand that when you have created a SQL Server FCI that you can change the SQL Virtual Name but not the instance name. So if the current SQL Virtual Name is SQL1 then at a high level:
Build cluster at new DCInstall SQL Server FCI with a virtual name as SQLTEMP and as a the default instanceShutdown old cluster ???Rename SQLTEMP to SQL1 Since there is an existing SQL Virtual Name my concern is that we cannot simply rename SQLTEMP to SQL1. Do we need to delete the VCO from AD for SQL1 in step
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster. I have moved a file to another drive by adding a new file on the drive, doing a shrinkfile with emptyfile. I have removed the old file and when I try to rename the new file to the old files old name, I get an error.
ALTER DATABASE mydb REMOVE FILE myfilename
Msg 5009, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
One or more files listed in the statement could not be found or could not be initialized.
ALTER DATABASE mydb
modify FILE ( NAME = temp_filename
, NEWNAME = myfilename
)
Msg 1828, Level 16, State 3, Line 4
The logical file name "myfilename" is already in use. Choose a different name.
I have completed a failover, thinking the name was being held in cache. I've also renamed to something completely different then tried to rename to the old filename.
Is there any danger with renaming the LOGICAL file names behind the database?
There are a bunch of databases that were restored copies and all of them have the same logical database file name. I'm trying to get some growth data so I want the logical files to be different (prefer them to match the actual database name) so I can more easily identify them.
For instance:
database_id name type_desc name physical_name
1 DLMdb1 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb1.mdf
1 DLMdb1 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb1.ldf
2 DLMdb2 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb2.mdf
2 DLMdb2 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb2.ldf
3 DLMdb3 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb3.mdf
3 DLMdb3 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb3.ldf
Am I safe to rename the logical names? I can't think of anything that references those logical file names that I would be breaking [backups, applications].
I installed sql server on one of my test servers, and I am eventually going to rename this server and put it into production. This server will replace one of my old servers with the same name. I was wondering if there was a way to rename the SQL Server instance after you rename your server without having to reinstall SQL Server. Thanks in advance for all the help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on creating a new version of an existing table. I want to keep the old table around, only with a different name. In looking this up I found there's a system routine named sp_rename, which looks like it will work fine.However in thinking about this I realized that the foreign key constraints defined on the table (there's 3 of them) are likely to not be renamed, correct?
If I'm correct, then I suppose I could rename the table, then drop the 3 foreign key constraints, and create them new using different names for those foreign key constraints.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI will moving my SQL Server to another server. The plan is to stop SQL Server copy database file to a temp netwokr location, Switch off this server. Configure the new server with the same name and IP, install SQL to the same paths and service pack to the same level (SQL 2000 sp3). Then start and stop the SQL server. Once stop I will then copy the old database file over the new ones.
I know in general this works as I have doen this many times before expect this time round there is a replicaiton database which is new, I am expecting this will work the same but has any one else tried this before?
