Thanks Tony

Yes - I think that will address the issues..... I think in my case the EVsite alias needs to be changed due to earlier releases of EV using a site alias rather than the EV server DNS alias needing to be changes, but I guess the process is the same.

The need to use the RestoreShortcutBody makes sense but I have a couple of questions on how best to do this to minimse user impact. I've posted another question for the same EV site which now has a relevence to this. https://www.veritas.com/community/forums/using-restoreshortcutbody-ev-http-https-change

In the post I've linked above, I've detailed by questions around using restoreshortcutbody as I also need to change from http to https for the same ev site (I'm hoping I can do both changes simaultaneously).

Also the technote https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH47364 makes a reference to doing the https change and mentions TECH128657 but I can't find that one - would it have been renamed since the Veritas split?

thanks
