First you run below query and find the detail about you SQL like Host Name, Server Name, Machine Name, Net BOIS name and last one SQL Server is clustered or not.

 SELECT  HOST_NAME() AS 'HOSTNAME',
                        @@SERVERNAME AS 'SERVERNAME',
                        SERVERPROPERTY('SERVERNAME') AS 'SERVERNAME',
                        SERVERPROPERTY('MACHINENAME') AS 'MACHINENAME',
                        SERVERPROPERTY('COMPUTERNAMEPHYSICALNETBIOS') AS 'NETBIOSNAME',
                        SERVERPROPERTY('ISCLUSTERED') AS 'ISCLUSTERED'

STEP 1: EXECUTE BELOW TO DROP THE CURRENT SERVER NAME

EXEC SP_DROPSERVER 'OLD SERVER NAME'


STEP 2: EXECUTE BELOW TO ADD NEW SERVER NAME. MAKE SURE LOCAL IS SPECIFIED
