@@servername returns NULL

[tgru]

I am trying to script out the creation of database scripts. I am trying
to use @@servername in the statement. I found out the select
@@servername returns NULL. I used sp_dropserver to drop any servernames
first, restarted SQL, ran sp_addserver 'servername' to add the
servername, restarted SQL. select @@servername still returns NULL...

Any ideas why this may be happening?

Thanks,

TGru

Did you specify 'local' as the second parameter to sp_addserver?
