In version 7 you run SQL setup and choose the upgrade option. This renames
the SQL Server. This is fine unless you have replication involved - Itzik
has a big procedure if this is the case :-) I'm sure he will insert it
<here>   :-)

On 6.5 execute the following
        master..sp_addserver 'new_name',LOCAL
then cycle the server.  This will change the server's name.  The server
name is stored in the table master..sysservers in the row with srvid =
0.
