SQL Server instance could not start

  • Hi,

    I copied the Windows 2003 server standard edition image using VMware and loaded in my desktop PC using VMware 2.0. Since I was in my office network, I changed the server (computer) name in my VMware. Once changed, the server restarted made my SQL server instance stopped running.

    I noticed the SQL server instance was pointing the existing server (computer) name. Need your help how to start the SQL server instance.

    Regards

  • Are you seeing any error in the event logs or the SQL Server log?

  • When you connect, you'll also need to drop the server and then add it back as the new server name.
