Hello All,
I have my database server name as SQLTest01 and I am able to RDP to it with the name. ANd also all applications are connected to it for a long time now. However when I run
SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name'
I get a different name (SQLServer000). Is there a way that I can change this to SQLtest01 through a sql server script. The reason I want to change the name is I am getting an error when I am trying to do replication. Also I am not able to connect to this server from SSMS with name SQLServer000 but am able to connect with SQLTest01.

SQL Server is unable to connect to server 'sqltest01'.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'SQLSERVER000'. (Replication.Utilities)
