Update Suite Bar links after Server Host Name Change using Rename-SPServer

Question

I have changed a Sharepoint 2016 server hostname using Rename-SPServer PowerShell cmdlet. I also changed the Alternate Access Mapping Urls for all the sites. Everything seems to be working fine accept for the Suite Bar links. They are still pointing to the old hostname based urls. Can anyone suggest how to fix them?

I have restarted the server to see if the problem goes away. But it is not working.

Update

Just realized every link in the User profile page(About Me) is also pointing to the old hostname. How can this be fixed?

You can try running the below PowerShell that will update the SuiteBar in SharePoint 2016 . Below code updates Logo Image,Title and the Link. If you want to update only the link, you just have to update the SuiteNavBrandingLogoNavigationUrl property.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

$WebApp= Get-SPWebApplication "http://intranet.crescent.com"
$WebApp.SuiteNavBrandingText = "Crescent Portal"

#Blank image from Layouts folder
$webapp.SuiteNavBrandingLogoUrl = "/_layouts/images/dot_ruleper.gif"
$webapp.SuiteNavBrandingLogoTitle = "Crescent Logo"
$webapp.SuiteNavBrandingLogoNavigationUrl = "http://portal.crescent.com"
$webapp.Update()

In case any other links in the suite bar is not updated, Can you please navigate to the Central Administration, User Profile Service Application -> Under My Site Settings -> Setup My Sites. See if the Site URL is correct. If not, Update the changes
