Re: Change the name of Informix server
Asked about renaming an Informix server on Windows, Guy Bowerman said the ntutils are no longer downloadable from IBM, though still used internally. Ntchname.exe fixed the registry after a machine rename, and a later version had a rename-instance option he believed was never released externally. He sent the latest ntutils to two people and the IIUG repository.

The ntutils are no longer downloadable from the IBM website, though they are still being updated internally and used by tech support. I can put a zip of the latest ntutils together and see if the IIUG software repository is willing to host them. I'm fairly sure there wasn't a utility to rename IDS instances among them. Ntchname.exe fixed the registry after a machine was renamed, and a later version of this had a rename instance option, but I don't think that version was ever on the external website.
