We have a file server that is being decommissioned. This question is not about redirecting users to another server, which is often accomplished with a DNS alias. What we need to do is post some instructions for people still trying to connect to this server. What I'd like to do is redirect any incoming file share connections (regardless of what share name and sub-folder the request is for) to a new share on the same server. By default, Windows clients receive an error if the exact path they're looking for is not present. With web servers, you can redirect a url to a different url, even when the original url doesn't even exist; I'm looking to do the same thing with network shares. I'd prefer to do it within Windows itself, but would entertain 3rd party server apps too.
Thanks,
Rich
