I would not do step 6 - updating all your users to MAINTX would be a nightmare. What you need is a 30 second window for problems, while you rename MAINT to MAINTOLD and MAINTX to MAINT. Then all new links will get the new versions. I don't remember the setting that prevents any new users from logging on (SET MAXUSERS 0?) but try it before the change so that no one will get messed up, and remember to fix it immediately afterwards.
