We are in the process of migrating data from a Windows 2000 file and print
server to a Windows 2003 server. We are implementing DFS in the process. We
feel that we have conquered most of the migration issues to make migration
seamless to the user, but the one problem that we have not figured out how
to resolve is how to convert links or shortcuts on the desktop, my network
places and elsewhere to point to our DFS root instead of the old server
name.
I found a utility in the Windows 2003 resource kit called chklnk.exe. I was
hopeful that it would help me find and or convert dead links to the new DFS
root. This utility only found links on the computer that were pointing to
documents that had been deleted. It did not find links to network resourses
that no longer existed.
If anyone has any idea on how to convert these links or delete these links
through a script of some sort, I would certainly appreciate hearing from
you.
Thanks,
Rod
