Rename SQLServer instance after rename computer
I have SQL Server 2012 running on Windows Server 2012. I renamed the Windows Server and need to adjust the SQL Server for the new name to get my Maintenance Plans running.
When I run Select @@ServerName I get the old server name.
If I try to run the sp_drop/addserver
exec sp_dropserver "oldservernameinstancename"
Go
exec sp_addserver "newservernameinstancename", local
Go
I get the following error:
Msg 15015, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dropserver, Line 45
The server 'oldservernameinstancename' does not exist. Use sp_helpserver to show available servers.
Msg 15028, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addserver, Line 79
The server 'newservernameinstancename' already exists.
sp_helpserver shows the new server name though
How can I correct this so my SQL Server Agent can run maintenance plans again?

Have you restarted SQL after you ran the sp_dropserver and sp_addserver commands?

That was part of the answer. I thought I had restarted after but I guess my last restart was before.

Restarting the server after running the drop/add server commands got the @@ServerName correct. I had to change the owner of the jobs to a different user because they were mapped to oldservernameusername.
