Updating Shortcuts for a File Server replacement

When retiring an older File Server, one has to account for the many possible uses and references to the old file server name. Shortcuts is one that can be addressed via Powershell. The following script finds all shortcuts that have the $from server, and update the references to point to the $to server (these are set in the script beforehand). The only catch is that I didn't build in long file name support, so if you have paths over 255 characters, some additions will be required.

 .DESCRIPTION
  Script for updating shortcuts for new file server location
 .PARAMETER Path
  Path to target folder.
 .PARAMETER Recurse
  Updates shortcuts through subfolders if used.
 .PARAMETER Whatif
  Writes no changes, displays files that would be affected.
 .EXAMPLE
  # See which shortcuts would be affected in c:\testFolder (subfolders included)
  lnkUpdate -path c:\testFolder -recurse -whatif
 .EXAMPLE
  # Make the perform the change in c:\testfolder ONLY (no subfolders)
  lnkUpdate -path c:\testfolder
#>

 # Path to root of Targeted Folder
