I was asked by management to rename our Sharepoint 2013 development environment, which consists of a single Sharepoint 2013 server running everything and a single SQL2008 server for the databases. It was running well for our needs, and page loads were
fairly quick.
I followed the directions on TechNet, etc. to rename the server, so I ran Stsadm.exe -o renameserver -oldservername <OLD_SERVER_NAME> -newservername <NEW_SERVER_NAME>, renamed the machine, rebooted the machine, and fixed the alternate access mappings. Everything is working now, but the sites are slow. Looking at the event viewer I noticed many errors pointing to Distributed Cache. The AppFabric Caching service won't run, slowing the sites down, and creating other issues.
I found the actual cache, and there are .xml files that are created after the rename, so I'm further perplexed.
On some blogs I see mention of adding The SP App Pool account to the 'WindowsFabricAllowedUsers' group, but I don't see that as an available group.
Any help you all can provide would be great!
