Hi Bjorn,
the fingerprint database names cannot be changed as it would break functionality

I think you can change the name in SQL server and update the FP catalog table in the enterprise vault directory database

But I don't think that's supported, and honestly can't think of anreason why you'd want to do it either

nick_white · Answer

That would definitely not be supported

Ok, not supported, but would a SQL guru be able to do the changes?&nbsp;
The reason I am asking is that when you upgrade from 7.5 to 8.0, you get a VSG called Default Upgrade Group. If you don't change that before you create sharing within group, you get a name of the Fingerprint Database called EVVSGDefaultUpgradeGroup_1_1.&nbsp;
In the EnterpriseVaultDirectory, we have a table called dbo.FingerprintCatalogueDatabase where the Database name is displayed, together with the SQL Server name.&nbsp;
We are able to change SQL server easily. Wouldn't it be just as easy to rename a "helping" database like the Fingerprint Database is? (I know I'm pushing it, but I don't want to just "accept no for an answer"

Why does it matter what the DB name is ? &nbsp;I mean what problem does it cause ?

I'm not sure about the reason here but I don't think that it looks good.
Not from an aesthetic point of view but from a "who-did-the-upgrade" point of view.
I've seen&nbsp;some upgrades that I've later been asked to look at, whenever I see "Default Upgrade Group" I get suspicous :)
Most of the time when I see that, no sharing is configured and they have been running for 6-12months without SIS.
I get even more suspicous&nbsp;when I see Express Vault Store Group on a production system :) (luckily those are very few).
&nbsp;
I guess one way to change it is to create new VS-Groups and VS and then move/migrate the archives.
But that is a lot of work for, I guess, not much gain from a functionality perspective.
