I'm working on a project to 'un-cluster' some services from a Windows Server 2003 cluster running on aging hardware. I've figured out how to do everything I need to except I haven't determined if I can somehow recreate or mimic the multiple network name resources. For example, the active node's machine name is NodeA, but there are network name resources called MgmtFileServer, MktgFileServer, and SalesFileServer. (Hey, I didn't set it up...)
People and business processes hit shares on the server using each of the network names. If I get rid of the cluster and take it down to just one machine, is there a way to seamlessly keep all of the existing client connections without modifying them to the actual machine name? I know I can get the clients to the machine with CNAME or A records, but can I make the machine listen on those names?
