Well, considering all circumstances, I suppose there is no real need to keep the Server name the same, the only reason I said we need to is that I read a KB article Q177635 which said that to restore the dir.edb, it's Windows NT Name specific thus can only be restored to a server with the same name.
I may have misunderstood this but I am willing to learn. And also, what is ECMSM?
