Hi There,<br />
<br />
try to put you're old servername in DNS as a static to the IP address of the new server...<br />
<br />
Another way to do this is to make use of the HOSTS file on every local machine..<br />
<br />
kind regards,<br />

 I have recently removed a 2003 server that held lots of folders and replaced with a 2008 server with a different name. How can I make old folder paths point to a new server?<br />
<br />
eg:<br />
&quot;\\old\folder&quot; doesn't exist but any network request for that folder (from an application or shortcut) can this be re-directed to&quot; \\new\folder&quot; temporarily until I sort the dead paths out?
