We run 4 different country versions of Navision 3.70 against 1 SQL database from multiple Windows Terminal Servers. We are changing the SQL Server. We need to find a fast an reliable way to change all user ZUP files so that they connect to the new database server. Our users do not want to throw away all their current GUI settings with new ZUP files. All suggestions gratefully considered[8]
…and you have already considered and discarded the notion of specifying the new server name in the ‘Target’ field of the shortcut(s) used to start the client…?

I take it you cannot just call the new server the same as the old one? Have you tried to run a script on login?
If your old Server is gone, could you use WINS or something similar to re-route traffic from the old name to the new name?
