Long live \\numerica\it\common
By Monday morning some file reorganisation will be have been carried out to give us some more disc space. In order to not worry about which server has what on and then be able to moved the storage around with new servers or SANs or NASs etc. I have enabled Domain wide DFS. (Currently there is no replication, only single links)
\\numerica\it will give you the full list of shares available, however the following are enabled as of this moment.
\\numerica\it\bugfixes\\numerica\it\development\\numerica\it\common\\numerica\it\video\\numerica\it\audio\\numerica\it\cabsbackups\\numerica\it\domainutils
I have also rationalised \\numerica\it\common slightly to try to put software under the manufactures name. If this causes huge problems, like the installation location of office then it can be changed, however as it has moved servers this change would have to be made anyway. Now we are using DFS this change should only need to be made this one last time.
Lastly there is a directory called:\\numerica\it\common\Archive or move items in this Folder which has things in that should really be removed or put on a different share. Please check these out if you are responsible for them.
