I either haven't been able to figure out the right combo of search words, or no one has ever asked this.
I have a network share on my Windows server that all users are mapping as their S drive.
On the "S drive" is a folder called "workspace" and about a dozen other folders.
The "workspace" folder is being moved to a new server due to the demand on the contents of that folder.
The problem is we have an application that looks to s:\workspace for its configuration.
We don't want to have to go to every user and reconfigure their application, we'd prefer to create, for lack of better description, a "link folder" that points to the new network share location.
The original thought was create a shortcut mapped to \\newserver\workspace
But the application does not view this as a folder, but rather a file, and therefor does not follow it to the new location.
Is there a way to force this "folder" to be redirected to \\newserver\workspace so that the application doesn't notice the new location?
