Changing the (local) SQL Server registration name

Hi,
When we install SQL server, it creates a (local) SQL
Server registration. How can we change this name from
(local) to computer's name?
Thank you.You should be able to access the server via (local), servername or ..
If you are talking about enterprise manager then just delete the registratio
n and add one with the servername.
Check @.@.server_name you may have to add it via sp_addserver.

I wasn't able to add it back. SQLAgent service wasn't
showing up in the service list.

Are you talking about enterprise manager?
It's just a client and deleting a registration won't affect services running
on the m/c.
The agent service is separate from the server and may have not been started.
See if the mssqlserver service is running - if so you should be able to regi
dter in enterprise manager.
