Re: Move WSS 2.0 to a new server

When you have server2 ready, rename serverold to something else and then
make serverold an alias for server2.

If your users use dns to resolve names, the alias is called a CNAME.

If your users use NetBIOS, there is a capability to make NetBIOS aliases as
well. Search for keywords netbios and alias.

How do I contend with the issue that the website is http://serverold:1080
and
when I restore to the new server the name will be http://server2 or
http://server2:1080.
