I did find a way to change them programmatically (link below), though
I'm not a developer and would not know how to implement these changes.
Would anyone be willing to assist me in doing this off list?

Subject: RE: Changing a MOSS workspace name - properly

 

Hi Brenton,

 

There is no live link checking using the MySite Links store, certainly
not across apps or farms.

 

The Site Directory includes functionality to update links and names (via
timer job) but only for sites which are registered there. This doesn't
include web parts, lists or links in content areas on other sites. L

 

Wouldn't it be great if internal were reference objects that were
updated automatically? Wouldn't it?? J

Subject: Changing a MOSS workspace name - properly

 

Hi all,

 

I have a small issue that cropped up after one of my production MOSS
workspace names was changed last week.

 

A number of staff have their mysite configured up and have a link to the
old workspace name under the Memberships -> Sharepoint Sites. 

 

Is there any way to tell MOSS to update the link on staff member's
MySite now that the actual site link has changed? I'd like MOSS to
update all links that contain the old workspace name to the new. I
thought there might be an automated process something that would have
updated all the mysite links as I thought it might be based on some sort
of a site id rather than a hard link. It doesn't appear that way, at
least on the surface

 

So for example, we changed the site name as follows, using the
_layouts/prjsetng.aspx (Title, Description, and Icon) page

Old site name <mossfarm>/SoftwareDev

New site name <mossfarm>/SoftwareSystems

 

The SoftwareDev (now SoftwareSystems) site has 4 subsites, which include
SoftwareArchitects

 

The user in question has a link to his own team's workspace, which is
currently something like
<mossfarm>/SoftwareDev/SoftwareArchitects/default.aspx and has not
updated to the new working link which should be
<mossfarm>/SoftwareSystems/SoftwareArchitects/default.aspx

 

Any ideas on how I can achieve this (and for all other users who have a
mysite configured with the membership links.. ) without breaking stuff?

 

Also, if this needs to be done in future, what would be the correct
procedure to do it and maintain the correct links in the users mysite? 

 

Thanks in advance.. long time reader, 1st time post

 

Regards,
Brenton
