RE: [SP2013] Duplicate Database Servers in Servers in Farm
Hi James, That command suggests it's for web servers only. Not sure I'm confident using it on the primary database server. Either way, I'm not sure it would help in this case as some content databases (and possibly some config or service DBs) are referencing the server by name.

RE: [SP2013] Duplicate Database Servers in Servers in Farm
OK, I think I've identified the problem. Looks like two content databases were migrated and wound up with the server name. One has zero sites and can be safely deleted. What's the best suggestion for the other one (WSS_Content_K) below? Can I just delete it and re-add it again by name via CA? Assuming this will then clear the named server instance from the Servers in Farm screen as others have suggested.
