Re: SQL 7.0 on Windows 2000

I wouldn't even try and give them the same names. I would use a DNS srv
record to repoint the old name to the new system (assuming an AD
infrastructure). This has the advantage that you can turn it off and on at
will to test. If you have only one or two client app servers, you can do
the same thing with a client network alias.
