Change computer name while running SQL Server

sql server connect: I need to change the computer name on my Windows Server 2003. I am currently
running SQl Server, and I am trying to find out if changing the name will
affect the SQL server or not. Is there a process for doing this, or if I
change the name and reboot, will the name automatically change in the SQL
Server Services Manager?
Thanks,

As long as there are no applications coded for your specific server name you
should be OK. After changing the server name and rebooting, use the commands
in the following article:
