Fax, Archi ving, BI/BW, CRM, Portal, XI, backup software, SMTP-Server...) - All RFCs of connected systems must be changed accordingly to reflect the new h ostname settings - DNS settings must be changed (if they use DNS) - Entries in saplogon.ini (SAPlogon) must reflect the new server name - If the server is a member of an Active Directory Domain additional steps have to be done (theres a document on the MS site I cant find yet unfortunately) Go through both and perform the same.
