Moving DFS root from 1 server to another

[Guest Noob]

I know that I am making this way too difficult but here is my

question.

I am removing an old 2003 (sp2) file server that has our root DFS

(Domain based) on it. I have already moved all the files to the new

2003 (x64) server and updated the links in DFS. Now I need to move

the DFS root target to the new server and keep the same name\share.

 

Do I just create a new Root target? If this is true then when I

create

the new root I can't use the same name.

So how do I do this?

 

 

Any advice or direction would be welcome

Hello Noob,

 

Create a duplicate root, wait a while and then remove the original root.

If there is data on the old server, you can add additional root targets to

the root. Once this is done, you can remove the original root target.

 

If you use 2003 Standard edition, you have to install these before:
