This might not be simpler but the servername is contained in the first few
sectors of the SYS: hard disk.  You can rename it by using the disked.exe
program but USE CARE WITH THIS.  First make sure you have a full backup of
the sys: volume!

Just run the disked program and read the first 10 or so sectors.  The
server name is at the beginning of one of them.  You can use ascii values
and change the name to a new name.  (Not sure if 10 is enough, if not try a
few more sectors).
