It didn't get added as the local server. Are you sure to ran the sp_addserver with the 'local' parameter? Run the following then restart the SQL Server instance. That should do the trick. The server is added correctly when it has a server_id of 0.

exec sp_dropserver 'RAYNEW'
GO
EXEC sp_addserver 'RAYNEW', 'LOCAL'
GO
