I have a stand alone Primary Site, it is SCCM CB, virtual machine with local SQL.

I will change this server (VM object) to another Datacenter, other location, and all servers in the new Datacenter need to follows a pattern to hostnames.

Due to this I will need to change SCCM server hostname.

Is that possible?
Is that supported?

Thank you,

    No, there is no supported way to change the hostname of a primary site server or any site system within ConfigMgr.

    Hi, @Patrick Mor

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Like Jason said, there is not a supported way by Microsoft to change the hostname of site server.
    Even we can achieve it by changing it in database like below post, but it is not a supported way, we will not get further support by microsoft if we edit the database manually.
