Hi All
I am trying to figure out a way to deal with shortcuts pointed to a smb share when migrating to a namespace. My org has run shared folders on a netapp for a long time, we are finally migrating to DFS with a namespace. Everything has gone pretty well with one exception. We still have some shortcuts that run printer mapping scripts on startup. Every computer has one :/ all 400. In the past I would have just used a dns alias for the old file server to the new file server and change the old servers name. This would give me two benefits, if anyone mapped to the old server they would still work and any scripts and whatnot pointed there would still work. I cant do that with a namespace due to the additional directory layer i.e. \\server\share vs \\domain name\namespace\share. Any ideas on how to update that shortcut on 400 PCs? Or redirect requests to the old servername to the new namespace?
