Can anyone tell me how to rename SQL Server 2012 instance name? I'm using SQL Server 2012 version 11.0.2100.60. I would like to rename it to 'VOSTROI5'.
You Can change computername but not instance name.
The instance name is writen like a 100 places in registry, and no sql script or stored procedures, can change that. And it would be a nightmare to do it manually.

Solution is to install a new instance with the Right name and then move the databases.
