Verifying Matching SQL Server and Computer Names
The information provided in this section should not be necessary if you just installed SQL Server; however,
if you were provided with a machine that was renamed after the operating system and SQL Server 2005
were already installed, use the following sections to verify and reset the server name.
1. Select Start | All Programs | Microsoft SQL Server 2005 | SQL Server Management Studio.
2. Click the Database Engine Query button.
3. In the SQL Query pane, type the following command:
SELECT @@Servername
4. Click the Execute button, located on the toolbar.
5. Verify that the resulting server name matches the machine name. If the server name does not match
the machine name, use the following procedure (Resetting the SQL Server Name) to reconfigure your
machine so that the machine name matches the server name.
Resetting the SQL Server Name

name. This step cannot be performed after VCM installation.

OTE

2. Click the Database Engine Query button.
3. In the SQL Query pane, type the following command, replacing NewServerName with the desired
server name:

exec sp_addserver 'NewServerName', 'local'

VCM cannot be installed on a machine where the machine name or SQL Server server name has
OTE
an underscore in the name.
4. You must now restart the SQL Server service. Select Start | Programs | Microsoft SQL Server 2005 |
Configuration Tools | SQL Server Configuration Manager.
5. In the left pane, select SQL Server 2005 Services.

Restart.
