Can I create a symbolic link in SBS when I move a folder?

I have a shared folder on a SBS 2000 server that everyone maps to. I want to
move that folder to a 2003 server. Is there a way I can create a symbolic
link so when people try to go to the old share path it is autmoaticcly
redirected to the new path?

I've already set up a log in script to automaticcly remap the drive letter
to the new path. Some people have a shortcut to the old location on their
desktop.

This would be really cool if I could do this.
Thanks

I believe that since you are transferring the share to another server that
your only option would be Distributed File System (DFS), and it is not worth
the trouble just to save some users having to modify a shortcut on their
desktop. I'd just put a shortcut to the new share in the root of the old
one, and let them copy it over.

That's what I thought. I have done the shortcut thing before and was just
wondering if there was another way. Thank you for your help.
