    Hello regevtal,

    If this user accesses files by typing UNC path then you need to instruct user to use new location. Remove permissions so no one can save files to the old location and create shortcut to the new location in old location. You can also disable the share from old location.

    There is no way to hard link, soft link or Junction UNC path. Alternatively, you can create CNAME alias on you DNS to point to new server. Note - this is only if old server is being decommissioned.
