There are 5 computers, one of them has an exchage folder, in this folder there is an access database to which all the other computers are connected, if I cut down this computer and put another instead of it and create a folder with a similar name, I will share it with everyone and drop the base then there will be no connection with this base? if not, how to restore it?

    Read about local networks and shared resources. If you have a link \ NAME_PK \ database on all computers, if you name a new PC with the same name as the old one, then everyone will see the base. If by \ IP ... then you need to assign the same IP to a new PC. It all depends on the link to the database connection in the application. It is also necessary to take into account the name of the shared folder, etc. In general, completely repeat the whole principle of creating a shared resource on a new PC.

    Add to the answer the need to create accounts on the computer with the same names and passwords as on the machine being turned off. If the passwords are unknown, then you need to re-register passwords to connect to each of the 5 computers. It is done like this: Start-Run control userpasswords2 -> Advanced -> Password Management. You need to delete the set password and re-apply to the remote resource.

    • ip is the same, the folder is the same, the name of the computer is the same, the user is the same. - reddyk

    If the folder is in the same place, and also shared for the same users and a computer in the same domain as the one being replaced, then the clients connecting to the file, on the side of the computer, have changed. So do it and do not be afraid, everything will work, unless of course you have access to the database

    • did everything that way, access denied says - reddyk
