Description |
url |
A valid URL name, such as http://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name |
Yes |
The URL of the subsite you want to rename. Note Only subsites can be renamed, not site collection roots. |
newname (new) |
A valid string name, such as "NewWeb" |
Yes |
The new subsite name. |
The following example uses the following site: https://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name.
To rename a URL using the newname parameter, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o renameweb -url https://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name -newname NewWeb
The URL of the subsite would become https://server_name/sites/site_name/NewWeb.
