    After renaming the Windows server, issue a sp_dropserver, sp_addserver and restart MSSQL services.

    use master

    go

    exec sp_dropserver 'old server name'

    go

    sp_addserver 'new server name', 'local'

    go

    Just be aware that your current jobs may not function because of changing the server's name you can verify it with this query

    SELECT *

    FROM msdb..sysjobs

    "-=Still Learning=-"
