I have a live server, called DBAServer, and a beta server, called DBAServer2.  I would like to have the beta server become the live server with as little downtime as possible.
 
Can anyone tell me if the Windows environment (or the Pervasive environment, or the DBA software itself) will have any "issues" if I were to rename DBAServer to DBAServerOLD, change its IP, and then rename DBAServer2 to DBAServer and give it the original server's IP?  These are Winnt4 servers.  The theory is that it will be a seamless change to my clients - they will be logging into the new server without me having to re-map drives and rerun setup on each client.
