this is typically why I like my 'server name' to be an alias instead of a machine name, that way when moving to a new server, you don't need to worry about this. You need to worry about it at the moment, but if you make your 'new' name, an alias that can be re-pointed as necessary, it's the last time you will have this issue on a server move.
