sql server name issue

  • Hi ,

    Our network guy changed one of the server name from A to B. He disabled sql services before doing this.

    But now sql serverices is not starting up…please advice. Server name issue?

    Sql service startup error- configuration manager

    The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the eventlog or other applicable error logs for details

    Event log

  • check the application event log for further sql server startup error messages and post them back

  • Check the security log as well. Perhaps you have a login error?

  • You will want to find out exactly the procedure they took and what occurred. If its been renamed as they've changed the domain then security is likely the issue as Steve says.

    Renaming a host on its own will not cause an issue with sql starting although it can cause other issues. You will need to rename the sql instance to match the host once you get it working

  • Resolved, renamed sql instance to match with hostname

    and started sql with correct accountname. thanks

  • Resolved. sql services started..issue with accountname

    thanks all
