Alias Server Name, Will WINS solve my problem?

by bob . Updated 17 years, 10 months ago

We are switching over our old servers to new win2003 servers but about 40 clients each have dozens of links and shortcuts to files on the old servers (e.g. //oldserver/word/word.doc)
How can I setup that //oldserver is just an alias and the request goes to the new server //newserver
so that both names would work to find a file?
This would save tons of time instead of going to each workstation and making changes.

Thanks!
