Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped

Hi,

I am running WSS 3.0 on SBS 2003.

I have renamed the server to prepare for it entering the network - renamed
it and SharePoint has stopped with SQL errors.

It all still seems to point to the old name, how do I update all the
SharePoint settings and SQL settings to use the new name??

thanks for your help

Have you tried the stsadm renameserver option?

Re: Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped

I've tried the option in the past. Most things worked be we would get
odd errors now and then. If possible I would recommend uninstall and
reinstall WSS 3.0

RE: Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped

I have taken off WSS completely, installed WSS 2.0 then SP2 then WSS 3.0.

Now I get the 'ConfiguratioN Failed' screen on the Config Wizard,

An exception of System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException was thrown.

Anyone have any ideas to get this working??

Re: Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped

Why did you install WSS 2.0? Were you using this before?

Re: Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped

Because WSS 3.0 required 2.0 SP2 to be present before it would install.
