Have you tried just adding the new url to alternate access mapping? It won't remove the old url, but you can use the new url then.

I'm talking about host header site collections within the app. I need to modify the current URL from http://old.site.com<http://site.com> to http://new.site.com<http://site.com>. I can see what values need to be changed but not sure whether the Rename method takes all these into account.

Will the SPSite Rename method do the trick? I can't really test this easily without creating some DNS records for the purpose. I was hoping there might be a Rename-SPSite command-let out there somewhere. :) Regards, Paul _______________________________________________ ozmoss mailing list ozmoss@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss@ozmoss.com> http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss -- Regards, Paul Noone SharePoint Farm Admin/Developer Infrastructure Team CEO Sydney p: (02) 9568 8461 f: (02) 9568 8483 e: paul.no...@syd.catholic.edu.au<mailto:paul.no...@syd.catholic.edu.au> w: http://www.ceosyd.catholic.edu.au/
