Hi,

I finished the installation of the SQL 2000 Server with one default instance
on a new cluster. After that my boss asked for a new name to Default
Instance ! Ohh my God !

Can I change the name of Defaul Instance ?

thanks,
Rubens

Technically, you can. However, Microsoft won't support it. Consider using

SQL Server Network Name resource, a variety of problems may occur. One of
the problems that may occur is that the SQL Server virtual server instance
may no longer come online. When this problem occurs, the following
information may be logged in the application event log: "
