Recently we renamed one of the SQL Server 2000 Server from NAME1 to NAME2. In the msdb..sysjobs table the originating_server name is still the old name ( NAME1 ). As SQL server 2000 suports multiple instanaces it will not rename it back to local.

So my Question is If I update the sysJobs table's Originating_Server Column to the new Server Name ( NAME2 ) . Will I have any issues. Because I not able to make any changes to the Jobs as it throws an 14274 Error. I don't want to rename the server back to the original name and do all the process as its given in the MSDN Article.



Thx
Venu

It's never caused me problems and is the only way I've found to be able to maintain jobs after a server name change.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
