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
Sanra

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.
