yesAre you using the ME transfer utility? If so do you have “replace communications” checkbox selected when doing the transfer?
With the new revamp to the knowledge base it is mostly useless. I looked through some of the articles and nothing seemed to apply to your problem.
You could make a test project just to see where the problem is. Create a New Project talking to those PLCs if it works then something is up with the Conversion from 6 to 10.
The Communications Setup can contain devices that no longer exist. As you connect to networks it will discover devices. Then if you connect on a different network those devices are "hidden". So it maintains a sort of history of devices. On the Ethernet driver there is an option to Show All Devices. Deleting shortcuts does not delete this "history".
What I would try next, is to delete the RSLinx Enterprise (or the new name: FactoryTalk Link) server and then recreate it. Then recreate the shortcuts. This will wipe out all of the old stuff.
On another note, the Shortcut Verify button is useless. It does not verify the shortcut at all. It simply verifies that you have selected a device on the Local and the Runtime tabs, as well as checking for an offline tag file. It does not verify that the shortcut actually works.

Are you talking about deleting the server under the Communications tab?No, I am saying to delete the server. Not the shortcuts or the hidden devices. Make it rebuild the comms server.
