Configure SQL Aliases for SharePoint Server

SQL Aliases  are optional ( but recommended ), and are a great way to configure your SharePoint environment. They allow for flexibility in case the SQL instance is changed, or the server names/IPs change then it’s possible to only “ re-point ” to the new servers. This way, there’s no need to reinstall SharePoint for the new server/instance. SQL Aliases are  configured on each SharePoint Server . This is very important to remember! Let’s dive in and configure our aliases. Run  cliconfg  utility on SharePoint Server On Windows Server 2012 R2 & Windows Server 2016, we have an utility called  cliconfg .
