Hi,

I'll like to change the computer name but my sql server 7 instance is tied
to the computer name. May I know how to resolve this without re-installation ?

TIA !

Note that you have to adapt the SQL code that handles your jobs (the code is to SQL Server 2000)...
Or use the KB article strategy instead.

Hi

This is SQL 2000 but I think it may have been the same in SQL 7.
