title: Changing the SharePoint 2013 web application URL, removing the server name
body: <p>I have a server named sv002, and then I have created a SharePoint web application at the root of this server. So currently I am able to access the web application using the following URL: - <code>http://sv002.</code></p>
  
  <p>But our client have asked to change the URL to be <code>http://compnayname.intra</code>. So I went to the SharePoint Central Administration > Alternative Access Mapping. Then I define the  URL (<code>http://compnayname.intra</code>) in the Intranet zone , while I left the Default zone as is (<code>http://sv002</code>).</p>
  
  <p>I have the following two questions:-</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is there any missing steps inside SharePoint that I need to do , for changing the server name?</p></li>
  <li><p>In my case i do not have real zones, as the intranet is only accessible within our network or using VPN. so inside the AAM should i have also changed the Default zones to be <code>http://compnayname.intra</code>, instead of <code>http://sv002</code> ??
  Thanks</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
