Rename default instance, 2000

  • Is is possible to rename a default instance in 2000 and how?

  • If you have running only default instance on the Server you can use the below query

    USE Master

    GO

    sp_dropserver current_server_name

    GO

    sp_addserver new_server_name, local

    GO

    And makesure that this is not cluster environment.

    After doing these, you need to re-start the services then only the New Server Name comes into effect. 

    Thanks-Mubeen

  • Thank you, for the information.
