New Server Issue - Renaming

  • We are getting a more powerful server to replace our existing one. Are there any issues with loading the new server up with all of the software and existing production databases, shutting down the existing server and renaming the new server with the old servers name?

    Any other tips on this project would be appreciated.

  • You will run into this http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;303774 and may potentially have some user accounts not work afterwards (test them afterwards of change). Otherwise I recall nothing else specific unless you set a service or something else to a specific user account, it may retain the old server name/person until updated.
