RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Linked files.

[Jacqui Hurst]

If you are keeping the same file structures and just changing the server names can you not setup cnames in DNS to point to the new servers?   Not tried it myself but thought it might be worth a suggestion.   Jacqui     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul van Geldrop Sent: 19 November 2004 16:41 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Linked files.   Hi all,   A bit offtopic, I realise, but hopefully somebody will be able to provide an answer. The problem: We're on the verge of consolidating a rather big load of user files to a new environment. However, we'd like to avoid the pitfall of linked files, for example, OLE links on Office documents and such. Say that we're moving a document from server A to server B and the document has a link to another document on server A. That other document we also move to server B. The link in the file is, of course, not updated, and errors have their wicked way. To prevent this from happening, we'd like to scan the different volumes for files that have links to other files and get a clear report. We examined the Link Updater (lu.exe, Quest Software), but that utility requires you to enter the source and target path of the linked files and doesn't accept wildcards, so that won't quite do the trick as we don't know those paths, that's what we're trying to find out. Anyone who might be able to give a handy pointer in the right direction for a tool like that ? Thanks in advance,   Paul.
