I've got a server running BES 5 that I'd like to rename. Does anyone have any docs on how to do this? I haven't found anything on RIMs site or when searching.
UPDATE: In my case the SQL databases are on another server which is a dedicated SQL Server.
A similar question was asked on Experts Exchange http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Handhelds_-_PDAs/Blackberry/Q_23919386.html
Apparently, RIM says it's a bad idea to rename the server. It breaks SQL stuff (which is dependent on the system name). There may be ways to fix that, but the sure way of doing this is to install on a new server and migrate the accounts over. BES Express 5 with the Blackberry Enterprise Transporter makes the process really easy. If you're running in VMs, it's even easier.
As much as I like to have all the servers fit a naming convention I find that the cons often outweigh the pros. Try renaming it and if things don't break that's great and if things do just revert (doesn't always work this way). If you have free time continue with this move but my guess is that if you take a moment to look things over there are much better things you can do with your time.
Having the servers fit a naming convention will only help IT feel good. Having the BES server down for sometime will only hurt everyone with a BB.
