Agreed. How hard is it to have a server named the same? SCCM isn't something most people have running on a server dedicated to something else. With Hyper-V/VM it makes "moving" SCCM to another system very rare. Much easier to restore the backups right back into the cluster. I guess you could run into issues if it is a physical box and you name the servers after the asset tag.

They did throw us a bone and allowed you to restore the database to a server with a different name, but the hard coding of servers names still being in the product after all these years is a joke. SQL AlwaysOn still not being supported is insane. Whenever I go to a company and tell them here is the restore process, they look at me like I'm insane. They all say this can't be correct. Gives SCCM a really big black eye for any new company looking to adopt it.

Basically, if you want these, file them on connect to make sure your voice gets heard.

Please don't tell me you still need to have the same server name for CAS/Primary when doing a restore. Does it support SQL AlwaysOn? Any info is appreciated.
