Has anyone had to do this?
The issue I am having is pretty obvious - central files. Revit noticed a change in the central file location, made it a local, and communication was broken. I fixed them before start of day on Monday, but we have other servers this will need to happen to. Is there no way around this? My suspicion is (and I am not an IT person), but when the central file is created it recognizes the server host name. If this name changes, which it did, Revit makes all the central files locals.
How are other firms handling this? As it stands I am only correcting the active projects to reduce my pain.
I came across this post that sort of confirms what I already knew: Central Files and UNC paths - Autodesk Discussion Groups.
Anyway, I would still like to hear your thoughts.
