Hi Jeffery,
Sorry, but we already tried this with no success. It still requires the /sites/intranet extension. We are currently in the process of doing what Daniel Brown has suggested ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi Ann, Is there currently a site in the top level site collection of w-0665 or cdm.intranet.com.au? or a reason behind not using the top level site collection? If not, you can move the site out of the /sites collection and to the top level site, this will cause /sites/intranet to no longer exist at that location, but it will exist at the top level site collection of w-0665 and cbm.intranet.com.au (if exposed/extra-netted to this address). Happy to help. :) Kind Regards, Daniel Brown - SharePoint MVP<https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Daniel.Brown> Blog: http://www.danielbrown.id.au<http://www.danielbrown.id.au/> Mobile: 0419-804-099 ý Please consider your Environment before printing this email. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If this does not work, we'll then look at Jeremy Thake's suggestion: ========================================= You should be able to run a stsadm -o export at the /sites/intranet/ site level and then in the new server run a stsadm -o import, but import it at the site collection root level. I've never tried restore a Site to become the Root Site, but it should work.

To access the site, the users need to type cdm.intranet.com.au/sites/intranet<http://cdm.intranet.com.au/sites/intranet>. But the users are finding it confusing that they have to type the /sites/intranet. Is there any way for us to rename the original URL when we created the site collection and get rid of the sites/intranet? I created another web application on another server and I gave it a URL of s-syd-999. I then restored the content database of the other site and attached it to this new web app that I created. I noticed now that to access the application I need to type s-syd-999/sites/intranet. Any ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
