We are migrating shares from one server to another with ScriptLogic's Secure Copy. &nbsp;After migrating the share and ntfs permissions from ServerA to ServerB, we will bring down ServerA. &nbsp;After data integrity check we will rename ServerB to ServerA so our user community will not have to remap drives or recreate shortcuts. &nbsp;Will renaming the server from ServerB to ServerA break the share and the share permissions?<br />

Believe it or not I have searched on this for sometime and haven't come across a topic. &nbsp;So if this is common knowledge, luck you who gets an easy 500 points.

Rename Server Do Shares Break

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
