We have a server running Windows Server SBS 2011. &nbsp;Our issue is this. &nbsp;We just happened to notice that the desktop document folders are pointing to a non-existent server instead of the new server. &nbsp;The non-existent server is off-line and scrapped. &nbsp;How can I get the folder to redirect to the SBS2011 server without losing the documents that have been saved in the current location which the desktop thinks is the old server. &nbsp;I’m afraid if I remove the link to the old server the documents will be lost.
