Naming - Potential problem upgrading NT to 2003

Thanks for any Info.

5 years ago when I named my NT server I used an underscore in the name "_".
Now I want to upgrade this Server to 2003 which seems to likes dashes but not underscores.
So now I can change the name and upgrade. Which will really make me a hated person since we have a lot of mapped folders and linked AutoCAD files.
Any other of you brilliant people out there have any ideas?
Don't say write a script! Mapped folders sure, Linked ACAD files NO WAY!
Who would have thunk it?

This has nothing to do with dotnet programming. Anyways, I remember from a
few years ago that you could add a NETBIOS alias to a machine. Here's a
link that describes it. No idea if it works with 2003.

Yeah my bad on the post location (probably why I could not find again it until now)
I am not used to the new format of these pages yet.
I will post this where it belongs (If I can find it)
Thanks

Hi, I have just used the import Wizard to import a VS 2003 app to VS 2005. I have a lot of work to do to enable it to compile successfully with all the errors and warnings it gave me, but as a starting point the compiler can no longer find the function as at the bottom of this posting, that was in the Global.asax.vb file. All the function does is give an easy / quick way of getting the application

Hello there I've a website that allows a user to create and download a document. I first save the file in the server and then let the user download it. This works just fine. But when multiple users try to do this, they must create their own copy of the file in the server. Can somebody suggest a foolproof way of naming the file - so that everyuser downloads only their copy of the file. Many thanks in advance.
