New Server

[Murray Mint]

Hi Guys not sure if this is the right place but here go's.

We are planning the replacement of one of our existing servers and as part
of this migration we also need to change the name of the device to comply
with our new naming standards, my question is how can this be accomplished. I
have tried creating a DNS and WIN entry for the old server but pointing them
at the new servers IP address, this does work but the test users are being
prompted for their login credentials and even then they provide them they are
still unable to access the new server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Murray,

Please describe the steps you have done more detailed. Is the server Domain
controller? What Operating system and what functions/applications are running
on the old/new server?

Best regards

Hi Meinolf

The new server is a standard Win 2003 Print and File server and is not a DC
with nothing special running on it by way of Apps and Functions.

The steps taken are pretty well as described in my first post so if you
could give me some idea of what information you require I will try and supply
it to you.

Hello Murray,

You can use the File server migration tool:

How does the users trying to access the server, RDP or via mapping?
