Hi,
Is this possible to rename the virtual server in a cluster environnement
? I use SQL2000 with win2003 server.

No. There is no supported way to rename a virtual instance in SQL 2000.
The closest way is to detach the user databases, uninstall SQL, reinstall
SQL, and reattach the user databases. You still have to fix login and
maintenance information manually.
