    Hi folks,

    I had someone on my team use sp_dropserver and sp_addserver, now they can not connect to the instance.

    Any quick ideas?

    Use the IP address.

    10.1.1.1/Servername for names instance

    or

    10.1.1.1

    This is an example IP address ping to find the real one

    you can also log into the server and then open SSMS and use local host or ' .' to connect to the local server, then you can use Select @@servername to find out the server name

    Make sure you find out who renamed the serer 🙂
