File Server Migration including the adaption of Microsoft Office links
Executing a File Server Migration usually means transferring files and documents from source systems to new target systems. During the transfer links to external information or files may get lost since the links do not "point" to the correct location due to the transfer. Office links are employed when information originating from external sources is to be used in certain documents. By losing the Office links the documents may become nearly useless because they no longer possess the amount of information they did before the File Server migration.
Especially Excel links are crucial for the controlling departments of businesses. These links help in the controlling of business numbers based upon Excel cell-references pointing to different source files. Beside the Excel cells, image-references in Word-documents are very popular.. The integration of image references is, for example, frequently used at insurance businesses. Another risk during the execution of a File Server migration is the transfer of Word template files. These are searched for automatically when opening a Word-document. If the templates are moved to a different location, opening a Word document may far too long if it is not possible to access the template file (.dot-files).
With FirstWare MigrateLink you can have your File Servers scanned for links in Officefiles prior to the migration and then change them automaticallyafter the migration. Furthermore, you can automate the adaption of the Word template paths to the new UNC paths or drive mappings using FirstWare MigrateLink.
Beside our tools for the support of the File Server Migration, we have developed other useful Active Directory Tools which are employed during Active Directory and Exchange migrations.
