Test environment configuration

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I cloned my Production VMs server in order to create an exact replica for testing and development purposes.  I had to rename the servers and don't know how to set up SharePoint and Business Portal to communicate with the DB server and also change the BP URL.  I have one server running SharePoint 3.0 with Business Portal for GP 2010 and another server with GP 2010 with SQL Server.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

    Renaming the server breaks SQL.  This should float you along your merry way :)

    Rename a Computer that Hosts a Stand-Alone Instance of SQL Server

    and, a bit outdated, but perhaps useful

    You cannot access portal sites or Web sites, certain areas of SharePoint Portal Central Administration display the incorrect server name, and e-mail notifications contain incorrect URLs after you rename the server
