If you are in a clustered environment of want the actual physical name of the server run this…
This only works on SQL 2005 and above though.

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(‘ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS’);

I’m not sure why the @@SERVERNAME has the old name, but at least the SERVERPROPERTY(‘servername’) returns the new server name.

Did you restart your SQL Server Instance after you changed name?

Also is it a default instance or named instance ?

It seems that SERVERPROPERTY(‘servername’) returns the new name of the server.
