Summary
This post clarifies why the Team Foundation application-tier server name must be changed during restore-based move types. It explains that during a restore-based move, the physical server is new and will have a different MAC address and potentially a new network address. The TFSAdminUtil utility may not correctly point to the new physical server if it's run using the old server name.
