Do you mean for example, users have an existing mapped drive letter z: to \\ServerA\share, and now to want to point z: to the new server? If so,<br />

Not really - What I want is to change the path via DFS Management to point to the new location \\FQDN\Share - I think what your suggesting is already done via the logon script.

I have been tasked with migrating a file server - <br />

<div class="bullet">
I have used Robocopy to copy the files from serverA over to ServerDFS
</div>
 
<div class="bullet">
All fileshares on ServerA are accessed via the DFS name - basically the target path points to ServerA

My question is this - how can I change the path to point to the shares on ServerDFS so that the change is seemless to the users at large?<br />
(Replication is not comfigured)<br />
(BTW the users are mapped to the shares via logon script.)
