Ive just split a VMWare installation of CS2007 on Win2003 by copying it and renaming the server name etc. however I found that the CS2007 site continued to point to the original server. Max Akbar's site discusses how to change the Server Name references by re-running the csconfig tool with /f (see http://blogs.msdn.com/maxakbar/archive/2006/10/17/fix-commerce-server-after-renaming-machine-name.aspx for details) but halfway through re-config it reported an error "an error occurred when configuring the feature 'Marketing Direct Mailer'. The configuration log file may have more details about the error. error summary: The DirectMailer Resource is already configured on another computer ('OLD-SERVER-NAME'). Only one Direct Mailer resource is supported per deployment."
A section from the log file includes the following:

The original server ('OLD-SERVER-NAME') is currently shut down and is therefore not on the network. Following the error message the reconfig seems to just role back and Im left with a CS system that is making references to the old server name still...
How do I complete the reconfig
