Answer 1

Not sure if its the only way but in IIS under the "Connections" pane right click on the Server Name under "Start Page" select "Remove Connection" and then answer "Yes" to the prompt. Then right click on "Start Page" and select "Connect to a Server...". Now enter the new name of the server click "Next" and then click "Finish".

Answer 2

You can just rename the server in IIS. Click on the server name and press F2 or rightclick-rename.
