Function Test-DbaServerName { <# .SYNOPSIS Tests to see if it's possible to easily rename the server at the SQL Server instance level, or if it even needs to be changed. .DESCRIPTION When a SQL Server's host OS is renamed, the SQL Server should be as well. This helps with Availability Groups and Kerberos. This command helps determine if your OS and SQL Server names match, and thus, if a rename is required. It then checks conditions that would prevent a rename like database mirroring and replication. https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2525/steps-to-change-the-server-name-for-a-sql-server-machine/ .PARAMETER SqlServer The SQL Server that you're connecting to. .PARAMETER Credential Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user. .PARAMETER Detailed Specifies if the servername is updatable. If updatable -eq $false, it will return the reasons why. .PARAMETER NoWarning This is an internal parameter used by Repair-DbaServerName which produces warnings of its own. .NOTES Tags: SPN dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io, clemaire@gmail.com) Copyright (C) 2016 Chrissy LeMaire This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
