| Max writes "I have an app that connets to a SQL Server. The server was decommissioned and the database was moved to different server. A network DNS alias was created to have the old server name point to the new server. The app fails to find the new server SQL Server. I used the client network utility to create an alias and that worked fine but any changes to client needs to be avoided. Any thoughts?" |
