New URLs on upgraded site

Vote:
 

We're about to deploy a CMS 6 site that was upgraded from EPiServer 4.x. How do we handle old URLs vs new URLs? I'm thinking google discovery here. With old URLs I mean http://www.site.com/templates/Page.aspx?id=369 and new URLs (the sexy ones) like  http://www.site.com/about.

Do we need to configure 301:s for redirection, or is this something that EPi can handle out of the box?

Hi Johan!

Have a look in in the web help for admins and how to rebuild names. 
http://webhelp.episerver.com/CMS/6.0/EN/Configuration/SS_RebuildWebAddress.htm

If you are looking for a permanent solution maybe Joels blog about custom 404 handling helps you out.

Good luck
