Hey
it is possible to change your url address for the ev server, so it creates links with a new name and archive explorer and search refers to a new address eg
old http://ev.domain1.local two new http://ev.domain2.local

I just think it's the site alias I just have to change but how do I do that. I'm using ev 8 sp3

if just the server name is changed then you need to to change the ComputerName in the dbo.ComputerEntryTable to the FQDN. As long as the Site Alias does not change, it should be OK to make
this change. And you need to restart the services after you have made the change

The correct way to do this would be to follow Nick White comment and not messing around in the DB if there is a UI option for it.
