I wonder if anyone have ever changed the name of NT4 server with SQL7 running. I stopped sql service and set it to manual. Changed the server name then restart the sql service and got this message " Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unknown package id). Please rerun Setup". If I changed the name back to the old one the service and related application would start just fine. Any Suggestion.
TIA

You need to change the server name in SQL.
Use sp_dropserver, sp_addserver with the LOCAL option.
