I wish to migrate a file server. Eg, copy all the files from \\serverA\folderA to \\serverB\folderA. As some of the desktop applications are using files in \\serverA\folderA, I wish to redirect these applications to \\serverB\folderA
So after copying all files to \\serverB\folderA, I shut down the serverA (Eg, serverA’s Ip = 1.1.1.1) and create a static IP Mapping in WINS using ServerB’s IP. Eg if ServerB’s IP = 2.2.2.2, then in WINS, there is a static IP Mapping that tell say ServerA’s Ipis 2.2.2.2, not 1.1.1.1
ServerA –> 2.2.2.2.
However, when I run a “net view \\serverA” command (after serverA is shutted down), I hit System Error 52, A duplicate name exists in the network.
The result is not as expected.
Any idea why is it so? How can I do the redirecting?
