Parameters
| Parameter name and short form | Value | Required? | Description |

Remarks
The renameserver operation cannot be used to rename query and index servers.
If the renameserver operation is used to make a name change on a computer that runs SQL Server and hosts the configuration database, then the renameserver operation must be run on every front-end Web server and application server in the farm. However, if the renameserver operation is used to make a name change on a computer that runs SQL Server and hosts databases other than the configuration database, you only need to run the renameserver operation on one server in the farm.
