CHANGING SQL SERVER DOMAIN

  • The Gurus,

    I mistakenly specified a wrong domain while installing SQL Server 2005 standard edition. Is there a way that I could change the domain from within the SQL Server? I do not have permission to access the domain that I wrongly specified and when I was trying to attached an AdventureWorks sample database, I got the message that I was writing to a wrong location.

    Please, help.

    Many thanks.

    Regards,

    Ola.

  • right click my computer and select properties. Change the domain and reboot. its only the servername that SQL server uses. Domain membership will just affect the accounts who can connect

  • Thanks but the workstation to which it was installed on on the same domain which I entered wrongly.

    Basically, the SQL Server is intended for testing only but the workstation on which it was installed is a member of arts.local, which is the domain that I wrongly specified. Doing what you told me could affect the PC itself because it still need to be on the domain.

    Any other idea?

    Thanks.
