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.
