I have a couple PC's which have shared folders on them. I'm taking one out
of commision and was wondering if it would be possible to add it's name to
another PC, so I don't need the change the mapped drives.
ie:
PC1 is named "archive" and has a shared folder named "keep"
PC2 is named "internet" and has shared folders named, "published" and
"downloads"
PC3 is named "media" and has shared folders named "music" and "video"
PC4 is named "backup" and has a shared folder named "documents"
I have DNS pointing to each machine (ie keep.mydomain.com = 10.0.11.16,
published.mydomain.com = 10.0.11.17, downloads.mydomain.com = 10.0.11.18,
music.mydomain.com = 10.0.11.19, etc.)
On my PC, R: is mapped to //archive/keep, P: is mapped to
//internet/published, L: is mapped to //internet/downloads, M: is mapped to
//media/music and V: is mapped to //media/video, X: is mapped to
//backup/documents and O: is mapped to //backup/documents/steve. Other PC's
are mapped similarly.
I'm taking PC2 offline, so I'm moving the shared folders to PC3. I'm hoping
to avoid having to change the mapping on all my computers. I'm really hoping
that I can find a way to map to the shared folders in such a way that I
simply need to change DNS to point to a new PC when I move shared folders to
another computer.
