How to change the name of a callmanger server

[Ayodeji Okanlawon]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the name of the ccm publisher in a network. If it is, how can this be done

Hi Deji,

How's things my friend? This change is not supported :(

Note: It is not supported to change the hostname on the Cisco CallManager server because the Structured Query Language (SQL) database does not support the hostname change. This is because SQL uses the server name for many of the tables related to Cisco CallManager and exchanges this information as such with the operating system. When SQL server is installed, it binds the database to both the machine and Cisco CallManager server names. If this is changed, the database does not replicate properly since the new Cisco CallManager or machine name is not updated correctly by SQL. If a hostname change is inevitable, then the entire Cisco CallManager must be rebuilt.

Hope this helps!
