| I have SQL7.0 installed on Server (name Accounting), however due to change organizational changes we need to rename this server to Tax. Can I just do this, will SQL still work after I rename the server, or what steps would I need to take.Thanks,Jay |

| Just so that you know, for SQL 2000, you only have to run sp_dropserver then sp_addserver. In 7.0, you have to run those plus run SQL setup.Tara |
