    Hi Thanks for your reply, In my experience this forum has been useful when it comes to understand different approach of completing the difficult task. I am quite happy with second approach provided it tested out correctly.

    Steps can be:- Rename EV server with new host name, In DNS delete existing hostname and create a new alias with old host name & point that to new host name of EV server.

    By doing that, we really don’t need to repair existing placeholders/shortcut, Excellent approach in my perspective.
