I need to change the name of the SQL Server on my development machine. My
client's server name is "Server1". My development server name is
"MachineName1\S erverTest".
I am writing a Visual Basic application. Everything is working great on my
development system, but I have to go in a change the connection strings.
Each time I change one, it takes about a couple minutes for the prompt to
come back saying it timed out trying to find the server. I want to rename
my server to be the same as my client's server so I won't have this time out
annoyance in my development environment.
I did a sp_dropserver and sp_addserver, but that does not change the machine
name of the server. Thanks in advance for any help.

What happens when your client wants to put your product into production.
Will the production SQL Server have to have the same name as their
development server?
Go the easy route. Use a different connection string within your app. www.connectionstrings.com

You cannot change name of an instance. You can, however, use "Client Network Utility" to specify an
alias name.
