Reassociating MPP files to a new Team Server

We have performed a hardware to hardware Team server migration. All seems to work well except for the existing MPP and excel files.

With the existing MPP files I was able to unassociated them, by clearing the work item ID and the revision fields. I then selected “Choose Team Project”, now I can get work items but they appear at the bottom of my project worksheet.

I really don’t want to reorganize the MPP file just to be able to get and publish work items. Is there a way to reassociate the existing task back to a WorkItem still on the server? Cutting and pasting tasks loses the Work Item ID value. Manually entering the value produces an error:This field is read-only.
