Rename computer with SQL 7 installed

0

I have 300 terminals that run Windows XPMode on Windows 7 x64. Each XPMode has installed a system that uses SQL-Express which I can not update because the system that interacts with it, does not support new versions.

The 300 terminals have the same name "SIM" and so far that was not a problem since the network was compared by doing an internal NAT. For other network issues we need to eliminate that NAT and share the physical plate. Is there a script that allows you to make a name change and touch on the SQL-Express instances to continue running?

You can try configuring a DNS Alias in the XPMode, in this way they will interpret the name SIM as you specify it even if they have a different name. To perform this task you must modify the Hosts file that is in the folder

%WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc\

1.- Navigate to the indicated directory, right click on the Hosts file and select Open with and select a Notepad text editor. strong>

2.- At the end of this file add a line where you include the IP address that you have configured in XPMode, and the name of the alias you want to assign, in this case SIM.

3.- Save the file making sure to select All files in Type , otherwise the editor will add a .txt extension to your file and will not reflect the changes in your operating system

4.- Finally close the file, change its name to XPMode, restart it and try
