Does anyone know how to change the instance name on an installed server short of reinstall?
Scenario
We are about to deploy 20 2K5 servers. We can not deploy them remotely. We will send install disks into the field and use local network support tech to do the work. Currently, the servers are running 2K. We will be running a side-by-side upgrade to insure minimal down time.
Since this is a side-by-side upgrade, a second instance name is required. If our techs typo the required name our client apps will not be able to connect.
We can run a script remotely if we need to but can it be done?
Did you try Upgrade Advisor? Why Upgrade is not an option for you. Upgrading 20 servers 1 at a time is painful but not as painful as what you are trying to do.
Thanks
