    So I was able to perform the following with 2 Windows file servers, we will name them OLD and NEW. 

     

    1.  Added NEW as an FSA Target.  OLD was already added as I have been archiving from it.

    2.  Ran FSAUtility with following parameters

     

    FSAUtility -pm -s \\OLD\FSA -d \\NEW\FSA

     

    3.  Confirmed that recall and archiving of placeholders works on NEW

    4.  Disconnected OLD from the network and deleted the AD computer object.

    5.  Renamed NEW to OLD.

    6.  Voila!  Recalls and archiving working as hoped.

     

    Let's hope that this goes as smoothly as above, with the addition of changing the FileServerType, with a Celerra appliance.

     

    Thanks for the help and comments folks!
