https://newhostname.domain.com/http://oldhostname.domain.com/SC1/_layouts/15/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=VQ47HSUWTZ35-2043059275-2304

Error message: something when wrong file not found

Troubleshoot: 

Fix:

Since the host name was recently renamed, the document properties were still referencing to the old URL, (not sure why). Following PowerShell code is to update affected documents with new host name.

$spSite = Get-SPSite -Identity  https://newhostname.domain.com/LIT

$website = $spSite.OpenWeb()

$list = $website.Lists["Documents"]

$items = $list.GetItems()

foreach($item in $items)

{

    if($item["_dlc_DocIdUrl"].Contains('oldhostname.domain.com') )

    {

        $item.File.CheckOut()

        $item["_dlc_DocIdUrl"] = $item["_dlc_DocIdUrl"].Replace('http://oldhostname.domain.com','https://newhostname.domain.com')

        $item.update()

        $item.File.CheckIn("DocIdUrl updated")

        write-host $item.Name  " updated"

    }

}
