title: SQL Server 2008 R2 Instance Rename Broke Replication
body: <p>Renamed a production instance during a move to virtual. The aftermath was that our replication broke. The replication subscriber and publisher both were removed and the jobs disabled - but every day the publisher and distributor try to still read the logs. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone experienced this before? Can you point me in the direction of what I need to do to fix this?  </p>
