Guest mwf Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Is it possible to redirect a share from server A to server B? Assume that server A is not going away. We're trying to consolidate a particular share from multiple regional servers down to one corporate share. The regional servers are not going away. We need to be able to automatically redirect calls to the old UNC path to the new location in order to maintain links embedded in some of the documents. Any ideas?
Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 RE: Redirect server share? MWF, The only way to do that would be through changing the DNS records. The problem is that it doesn't dound like the old machines are going away so this isn't really anl option. With that, I can only hope that you were mapping a drive or specifying a UNC path through a script where you cna centrally manage it. Otherwise, you are looking at a ton of manual work or a script to redirect. Take this as a learning point where you centrally manage resource locations. -- Ryan Hanisco MCSE, MCTS: SQL 2005, Project+ Chicago, IL Remember: Marking helpful answers helps everyone find the info they need quickly.

Guest mwf Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 RE: Redirect server share? I'm trying to support a poorly written application (Adobe InDesign) which has stored full UNC paths for linked files, and does not support relative paths. I wish it were as simple as changing a mapped drive or specifiying a new path in the script.
