Good morning, i have a SQL 2000 with a Merge Replication on a server, i want
to move the publisher (and the distributor) to another server, which has a
diferent name.

I can´t rename the new server, could run my replication on that server ? or
when i attach the databases the replication fails.

Thanks

Jorge,
you'll need to script out the publications, change the servername in the
script then add back in and initialize.
To minimise the work you could do a nosync initialization.
