Multiple Instances - SQLSERVER

[clint1982]

Hello all How can I rename an instance of sql server not in sql. Clint

[Mike Dimmick]

I don't believe it's possible to rename a SQL Server instance. I think the only way to achieve that is to uninstall it and install a new instance with a different name. Be sure to back up all your databases before doing it so that you can restore them. Alternatively you might be able to detach and reattach the databases to the new instance (but I'd still take a backup first).

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
