Renaming a Distribution Point?
I have a distribution point located at one of our branch offices, and it needs to be renamed. What are the implications of this? And is it a simple process? Thanks in advance. :)

Hi, Is it a secondary site or just a distribution point? If it a distribution point, then you will have to remove the DP, rename the server name, create a new DP on the server. Here are the completed steps for this: Remove the DP from the package's distribution point’s hive. · Remove the DP as site system. · Rename the server. · Install the DP on the new server. · Push the packages using the Copy Package wizard.
