Hi Michael,

Since you're not changing the 'top-level' URL of the site here it should simple - if the sites are MOSS publishing sites, you can do it by editing the settings on the 'Title, Description and Icon' page (/_layouts/prjsetng.aspx).

I'm not 100% sure for non-publishing sites, but imagine there's something similar.

HTH,

Chris.

Hi hopefully this is simple but how can i go about changing the case of URLS

I created a site as
www.name.com/sites/SiteName

And i really want it to look like
www.name.com/sites/sitename

I really don't want to go through a export and restore for every site.

@Jormis,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I was on holiday when you posted.

Yes, your approach will work fine for changing the URL of a child web within a site collection will work fine.

My approach is really for changing the 'top-level' URL of a site.

Cheers,

Depending on your version of MOSS, and the necessary URL changes, such as if you are just adding to the URL at some part, perhaps it would be sufficient to enable publishing on the site collection and site level, then use the site content management explorer like windows (site actions) to do the following:

1. create a new site under the top site, like mycompanysite/HR
2. move the old subsite under the new subsite, if the old one was called HRportal , now it would become mycompanysite/HR/HRportal

In my case at least, I needed to extend by language specific URL in front of the actual subsite URL, like /en/
