Guest Ruud Boersma Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Hi all, Did not know where to post this question, so i'm posting it in general. Following problem: Old server is migrated to new server. We need to maintain the old unc path like \\oldserver\share. This means the new server needs a second computername (netbios alias). Someone told me to create an DNS cname, but this does not work for netbios. So I found an article describing howto create an netbios alias (or multiple aliasses) using the registry editor. By creating a reg_sz OptionalNames in parameters in lanmanserver(hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/services/lanmanserver, i can succesfully create a second netbios id. I have to create an additional reg_dword in parameters "DisableStrictNameChecking" and set it to 1. When I stop the server service and it's dependencies, and then start the server service again without it's dependencies, I can succesfully connect to \\oldserver\share. But the server service(lanmanserver) has dependencies. One of them is the netlogon. When this dependent service starts, the optional unique id's are being removed and only the original computername remains. I found a view articles from people who have succesfully done this. What is going wrong here?
