We have many clients who use a Stand-alone namespace (\\servername\shareddrive\data) and they usually hire us when their old server is failing to step in and install a new server at their location. They are usually very simple environments but we always
have some network interruption when changing the scripts or mapped drives to the new location. We usually need to unshared all their data move it onto the new server and re share it out and change all the scripts or basically everything referencing the new
server. This causes some down time for them and I want to start implementing DFS while keeping the old stand-alone namespace mapped drive location to smooth the transition. Does anyone know how to do that or maybe they know another way to move file shares
from one server to the next without any interruption to the users?
