Hi Elcracko,
Thank you for your post!
From your post, my understanding of this issue is: you may want to preservethe UNC paths that users are accustomed to you migrate existing file
servers to new Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computers. If I have
misunderstood your concerns, please feel free to let me know.
A software update provides the functionality to keep the UNC path as the
same when you move the path's underlying files. The software update
modifies the Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS) server to permit the
DFS server to return referrals for servers that no longer exist. The DFS
server that permits this functionality is referred to as the DFS root
server.
A supported feature that modifies the product's default behavior is now
available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to modify the behavior
that this article describes. Apply it only to systems that specifically
require it. This feature may receive additional testing. Therefore, if the
system is not severely affected by the lack of this feature, we recommend
that you wait for the next Microsoft Windows Server 2003 service pack that
contains this feature.
To obtain this feature immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support
Services. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services
telephone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following
Microsoft Web site:

Please also refer to the following steps to see if this issue can be
resolved.
1. Install the software update.
2. Configure your DFS root server to support the consolidation of the UNC
paths from the old servers.
The following information is for your reference:
829885 Distributed File System update to support consolidation roots in
Windows Server 2003

Please try my methods and update me with the results. If something is
unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
