Hi, I'm on a site that uses a Document Management system that was recently (not by me) moved to a different server. There are thousands of files that live in a repository: \\server01\documents\clients\<file:///\\server01\documents\clients\>* Unfortunately, what we have now found is that the users use shortcuts inside this structure to point to other parts of the repository, these obviously reference the old server, that no longer exists. I thought of removing the DNS name of the old server and using a cname to redirect it, but that's a bit of a cludge IMO. Can I go to the root of the store, and get a script to look at all the shortcuts and change the path from say: \\server01\documents\clients\document.doc<file:///\\server01\documents\clients\document.doc> to \\server02\documents\clients\document.doc<file:///\\server02\documents\clients\document.doc> This needs to be done with no danger to the containers or the folders within...
