Fileserver Migration Toolkit

I am using the Fileserver Migration Toolkit to move shared directories from one fileserver to the next. I elected not to use DFS as I prefer my new file server to be simple (sans extra services).

The toolkit copies the shares and permissions with ease, but appends the old fileserver name to the end of the share.

How do I rename a share and retain the share settings?

Also, the toolkit drops the shared folders into a directory named after the old machine. I would also like to move the shares to the root (or rename the directory) and retain the share info.

The second part is no biggie, the share names is a pain though.

TIA

nevermind, I figured out how to rename the share/target in the migration tool. I did have a problem with renaming nested shares though.
