How does moss/SharePoint change the name of a server with SharePoint installed?

It seems that many of my friends have encountered this problem: Sharepoint Server 2007 has been installed on the server, but you need to change the name of this server. Direct modification will always lead to Website access failures.

For more information, see the following steps:

Step 1: modify "Alternative access ing" in the sharepoint3.0 Management Center ":

1. Go to the SharePoint Management Center

2. Select the "operations" tab.

3. Click "Alternative access ing ".

4. Change the access ing link to the URL using the new server name.

Step 2: Use the renameserver option in the stsadm command:

1. Enter the command line interface (Start Menu ---> RUN ---> cmd ---> press Enter)

2. Go to the directory: C: \ Program Files \ common files \ microsoft shared \ Web Server Extensions \ 12 \ bin.

3. Run the following command:

Stsadm-O renameserver-newservername <newname>-oldservername <oldname>

Step 3: Modify the name on the server

1. Right-click my computer and choose Properties"

2. Select "modify" in "computer name"

3. enter a new server name and restart the server.
