Thank you for taking a look, This is the code I have been trying.UPDATE TA
SET ServerName= REPLACE(ServerName, '%.%.dim.com', '')
WHERE Servername like '%.%.dim.com%'
basically I want to remove anything that starts with first "."
I think what you are trying to do is to change the ServerName to be dim.com? They way you have this coded it won't actually do anything.
Is this closer to what you want?
UPDATE TA
SET ServerName= 'dim.com'
WHERE Servername like '%.%.dim.com%'
This still probably isn't quite what you are looking for but it is not at all clear what you are trying to do.
