Hi,

I'm in the midle of a server migration. I have an old fileserver (server1)
and the new server (server1-new). I have migrated the data to the new server
and am waiting to move the shares until I get some clarity.

I'm using secure copy to move the shares to the new server. Once that is
done I will rename the old server to "server1-old) and rename the new server
to "server1" and give it the same IP address of the old server.

My question is that If I rename both servers will I lose the share that have
been configured?

Thanks

Hello Kyle,

No, they will not be effected.
