Can someone help me by providing the correct set of steps to rename a SharePoint 2010 Web server machine name? It's a two-server farm. Are there know issues associated with this? I've researched this and found much conflicting info. I do not want to use alternative access mappings. It is a publishing site based Intranet.

I'm aware of the STSADM Renameserver command. But what else is involved? IIS? Remove Web app? Does it break anything? etc...

Are you referring to the name of the actual server itself or the FQDN used to access the site via the web? – Dave Wise Feb 13 at 16:40
the name of the machine itself. – IrishChieftain Feb 13 at 16:46

@IrishChieftain, The answer provided is for 2010. The question is not exactly the same, but the answer is. – rjcup3 Feb 13 at 17:13

For 2010 and 2013, there is the Rename-SPServer PowerShell cmdlet that will accomplish this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607556.aspx
