I have a file server that is getting retired. &nbsp;There are tons of shares in our network mapped to this particular server. &nbsp;I'm about to move all the shares to another server and going to have to remap all the user workstations. &nbsp;is there a way that a share can be a virtual share name? &nbsp;example. <br />
when i retire the next file server i can just move them to another server and the mappings will still work?<br />
best way to do this<br />
thanks

virtual share name?

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

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).
