function Repair-DbaServerName { <# .SYNOPSIS Renames @@SERVERNAME to match with the Windows name. .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 renames @@SERVERNAME to match with the Windows name. The new name is automatically determined. It does not matter if you use an alias to connect to the SQL instance. If the automatically determined new name matches the old name, the command will not run. https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2525/steps-to-change-the-server-name-for-a-sql-server-machine/ .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server that you're connecting to. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use: $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter. Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .PARAMETER AutoFix If this switch is enabled, the repair will be performed automatically. .PARAMETER Force If this switch is enabled, most confirmation prompts will be skipped. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .PARAMETER WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .NOTES Tags: SPN dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io, clemaire@gmail.com) Copyright (C) 2016 Chrissy LeMaire License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Repair-DbaServerName .EXAMPLE Repair-DbaServerName -SqlInstance sql2014 Checks to see if the server name is updatable and changes the name with a number of prompts. .EXAMPLE Repair-DbaServerName -SqlInstance sql2014 -AutoFix Checks to see if the server name is updatable and automatically performs the change.
