I am getting ready to take an old server offline but need to retain its network path and files, I've doen this before a long time ago and I can't remember how I did it. I need to set up a shared directory that has the same network path as the machine that its replacing, naming the new machine the same as the old is not an option.

Thnx,
Jason
 
Make a CNAME entry in DNS for the old server name to point to the replacement server.
