Hear! Hear! FWIW, Ishai's suggestiont that this info can be changed in the SSP settings was spot on. Now, if only I had access... :)

This is related to the 'incorrect page layout url' issue that was posted here a day or two ago. Absolute URLs are stored within a SharePoint content database and there is no simple straightforward way to update all the references correctly. To the point where only STSADM Export / Import (which uses the PRIME / Content Deployment API) is the only "supported" method for migrating sites between farms (ie. Dev --> Test --> Prod) The problem is that the majority of people out there (including myself) still heavily utilise 'unsupported method' for moving sites between farms - Site Collection Backup / Restore or via SQL Content Database backup / restore because they are faster and simpler than the supported method. So if a site is created in the farm that it will eventually end up 'living' in then no worries - but if you want the flexibility to 'MOVE' your sites around between farms or utilise different urls or host names then you constantly run into time wasting and problematic issues like this. There really needs to be a more simple, proven, documented and SUPPORTED manner to do this sort of thing....

I can see the PageUri here and have changed it to reflect the new port number but this also adds the value to the control in code view. e.g. <SharePoint:delegatecontrol ControlId="GlobalSiteLink1" Scope="Farm" runat="server" PageUri="http://mydomain:999/_vti_bin/webpartpages.asmx";> Is this the right way to go about changing these? I can't seem to find any other means through Central Administration and these hard coded changes are bound to get carried across to our production environment.

Almost everything seems to have gone off without a hitch with the exception of a few broken links in master page controls. - Search form - My Site - My Links (sub links only) All point to the old port number. Is this a caching issue, or are absolute URLs set in some of the config files when these things were initially setup?
