| I've found the problem and what I've found may help someone else so I'll
post
| it here. The doco in the FAQ states that you should use Wordpad or
Notepad
| to modify the XML file, so for no reason I just chose Wordpad and stuck
with
| it, using find/replace to replace the variables I wanted to change. I
did
| this for hours changing this, changing that, trying different servers,
etc.
| but always the xml file would revert to it's original content.
|
| On a whim, I switched to notepad and everything works just as stated. I
was
| able to eliminate the unwanted _servername share name tag, and the
servername
| top level folder. Maybe there is something about Wordpad that I'm
missing,
| but that is what worked for me.
|
| It would be a great enhancement if this tool allowed me to move shares to
a
| seperate volume on the same physical server, remove the old share
| information, and create the new share information without changing the
share
| names. But I've found it can be done with two moves, move once from
Server A
| to Server B, then move from Server B to Server A.
|
| Hope this helps someone!
