  • If i reastore the Master database of my instance 1 on my instance 2 what happens?

    Will the instance two be named as instance one?

  • Yes, and no.

    run this to rename the server name:

    sp_dropserver 'old_name'

    go

    sp_addserver 'new_name', 'local'

    go

  • You can use the drop/add as Henrico pointed out. My question is - why would you want to do this? What benefit do you see that a fresh install of SQL won't give you?
