Renaming a OneBox Dev environment

Hi

Tonight I helped one of my developer colleagues who had issues with one of his DEV environments. The issue was that he had renamed the VM (you cannot have multiple machines in Azure DevOps with the same name). The problem was that he had not completed all the steps that is required to rename so it was behaving a bit weird.

First of all we were not able to connect to Reporting Services Configuration Manager. The solution was unfortunately not very logical… In the onebox environment there is a couple of SQL components installed from different SQL Server Versions:

If you use the wrong SSRS Configuration Manager it is not able to connect to the SSRS Server and get the error message: No report servers were found

The correct version is 2016! Completely logical… NOT!

When this was done we just followed this guide to complete the rename and all is well 🙂
