Forcing Folder Redirection to New Server if Old Server is Gone?

[CallMeal]

Hello,
As the subject suggests, we are having a bit of a problem with folder redirection. One of our Windows 2003 servers unceremoniously crashed a few weeks ago due to a disk failure. We now physically have the drives required to fully restore the server; However, I am reluctant to do so for reasons relating to Exchange. If you’re curious about the details, the full story can be found on Mark Minasi’s forum here: http://is.gd/keq7l
Someone there suggested I use CSCCMD; However, the problem with that is I have a mixture of XP and Windows 7 clients, and CSCCMD doesn’t seem to be supported in Windows 7.
Are there any GPO tricks I can use to resolve this? Simply pointing a GPO to redirect to the new server doesn’t seem to work. I was hoping the GPO would cause clients to just move data from the CSC over to the new location; However, it seems that it actually wants to copy data from the old server instead. When I attempt to change the redirection target, I get errors similar to the following:
Event ID: 502
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords:
user:: Mydomain\username
Computer: Mymachine.mydomain.msu.edu
Description:
Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Desktop" to "\\newserver.mydomain.msu.edu \users$\username\Desktop".
Redirection options=0x1001.
The following error occurred: "Failed to build the list of regular subfolders under "\ \oldserver.mydomain.msu.edu\users$\username\Deskto p"".
Error details: "The network path was not found.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

CCS is definately what you'll need for the XP side; Not too sure on windows 7 though... shall have a think

However, what I'd also suggest is that whilst doing this you also implement DFS, nothing like a bit of future proofing!
