Repair Data Source - New Data Location

Question

I'm migrating my data to a new server and I have 1000's of MXD's which will have broken layers due to the new location of the data.

Is there a method of sourcing all these MXD's to the new data location from multiple machines using single-use licenses?

I've come across this thread a couple times with no clear answer form what I could see.

Thanks

I haven't tested on 10.6, so that might be the issue.  But you can try to unzip the .addin and go directly to the toolbox.  Right-click on the tool and Source.  See if it can find the .py script for the tool.  You may need to go up a folder to find the scripts folder.

I know I have had some issues with 10.5.1 with the "store relative path" for the script doing some weird stuff (trying to look on the "C$" share) when upgrading to newer version.  It was developed mainly on 10.2.x.

The only other thing might be if you have spaces in the path names.  I can't remember if I handle things for that.

I've downloaded your add-in and every step works great until step 5.

I get the following error message:

I'm currently running 10.6 and here is a snippet of my "UpdateToNewDrive.csv"
