During my work i had an interesting “challenge”: rename a server on which was installed TFS and all the needed components (WSS, SQL, RS, AS, Build). There are some documentation on how to rename each component but they are squattered in each product documentation so i decided to write a series of post specifying how to rename each component/server used by TFS.

- Code samples.
Microsoft has also make an effort to respect Java conventions so that Java developer are not “lost”.
