Hi guys,
I have 2 servers and I just moved most of the shares from server1 (SBS 2003 server) to server2 (Server 2003 Standard).
However, in sharepoint there are a lot of links that refer to the old server by name, ie, \\server1\accounts
.
How can I have the shares physically on the new (larger) server, while preserving these links and having them still work.
Cheers,
Sam

Are you keeping server1? If not, you can just add a manual DNS-entry in your domain-zone on your AD-server for server1, that points to server2.
Second option might be to rename server1 to something else, and then add a DNS-record for the old name (server1) that points to server2.
: yes we are keeping server1From jishi -
Or you can go by the way which ms advising - use File Server Migration Toolkit (whitepaper)
It creates dfs root folder, in which both servers (old and new) are targeted. And than you remove old server fro dfs.
: I'll check that out, thanks: turns out to 'maintain original UNC paths' it requires server 2003 _enterprise_ or higher, whereas I am using small business server.: Although more playing shows that creating a DFS root on the original server pointing at the second server works well.From makrusan
