Server script - how can I redirect UNC request? like 301 web or maybe lmhosts
Hi all
I get this situation more often than not from various places. You all know the situation well.
WITHOUT using Colin's relink script, on the windows side of things how can I redirect unc file requests (almost like a 301 on a webserver) to get the old path back?
So when a pc for example requests
\\oldserver\olddrive\mystuff\maps\texture1.jpg
from the new server (and that path obviously doesnt exist)
I want the new server to 301 redirect the request to
\\newserver\fancynewdrive\rediculousstructure\whys olong\arrrgitpeople\maps\texture1.jpg
It's been a while since I dealt with servers in any form. Can DNS do this or maybe lmhostlookup on the local pc?

- New server (different name)
- New hard drive
- File structure also different than before (so different paths etc)
