sql server 2005 rename instance.

Asked by Fraser_Admin in SQL Server 2005

Tags: sql, 2005, rename, instance

I installed sql server 2005 on a machine called sql2.  I had a live machine called sql1.  After getting everything all setup on sql2, i removed sql1 from the domain, and renamed sql2 to be sql1.

Now when I'm trying to setup replication i'm getting the following error:

sql server replication requires the actual server name to make a conection to the server.  Connection through a server alais, IP address or other alternate name are not supported.

Specify the actual server name sql2
(replication.utilities)

where do i find replication.utilities and why is it still trying to do stuff with sql2?

how to i rename my instance of sqlserver?Start Free Trial
