I'd use dfs instead.
Then Company1 would always be referred to as
<\\yourdomain.local.or.what.ever\dfs\company1> and it could point to
<\\filesvr1\companythis or that> or wherever you choose to keep it. In any
case, you'd still be using <\\yourdomain.local.or.what.ever\dfs\company1>
and the actual share could be anywahere. The pointer ref's would be taken
care of automatically. You'll never have to remember where that particaulr
file is physically located, just the dfs-pointer.
HTH.

Subject: [windows2000] Hard Linking a folder on one server to a folder on
another server.
Any ideas on this one;
I have two file servers, and have moved a number of the data folders from
one to the other (running out of space on FILESVR1). My question- is it
possible to make it look and act like the moved folders are still where are
were.
To explain fuller;
F: is mapped as \\FILESVR1\Company
G: is mapped as \\FILESVR2\Company
If I had F:\AFolder which was moved to G:\AFolder can I make it look and act
like "AFolder" is still on the F: drive. I know that I can make a shortcut
to it but the two problems with that is (1) It is treated as a file in the
listing - ie in with the files and not folders), and (2) if you use UP to go
back you go up to G:\ and not F:\.
FILESVR1 is a Windows 2000 Server, and FILESVR2 is Windows Server 2003.
Thanks,
Steve
