Dealing with moved documents and sites in Sharepoint

For your smart url redirection, check out the RDA URL Redirection utility.


Two things - you will want a temporary workaround:

  • Use IIS to redirect requests for the old URL to the new - this will probably fail unless you also have an alternate access mapping for the old URL configured for the Web Application.

  • Next, re-write the URL's "on-they-fly" with a URL Re-Writer as mentioned above - though there is an official one from Microsoft available at http://www.iis.net.

Then, long-term you are going to want to scan and update your content with the new URLs - SharePoint Desginer has some reports/scans under the "Site\Reports" menu. But you may be better off with a custom utility.
