Hi,

We are just testing DR. We will create temporary windows server and will install named instance of sql server 2005. My question is:

1. Can we use the same named instance name with new server as we already have on in our domain/network. i.e. oldcomputername\instance1 to newcomputername\instance1?

Thanks
