Hi,We will be upgrading our Database servers soon. For many reasons I would like to keep the same server name, instance and database name(s). Basically just swap out hardware but everything remains the same. I am keeping the old server on the domain but will rename and use as a staging server. I know the same SQL instance names cannot co-exist on the same domain. I want to be able to detach and copy over to the new server my MDF, LDF - then re-attach on the new server.Is there a way I can do a rename - swap instance names , etc? Or is there a better method I'm not thinking of?
