Change an instance name

MorningAtSeven

Hello All,

Short question. Is it possible to change an instance name?

Thanks,
Martin

You would somehow have to rename the service.
As far as I'm aware, sc.exe (Service Controller in Windows) does not have this functionality, but there are some workarounds (if you search). I would not recommend the workarounds since they require you to input all information again.
It would be easier to delete and create the service correctly.
