Hi: I have a task to complete, and hope you can help me:
I have 4 sites around the US, that needs to conduct a Desktop and Laptop Refresh.
Site 1 has 300 users
Site 2 has 600 users
Site 3 has 120 users
Site 4 has 80 users
We (my boss), would like the user to be responsible for the majority of it’s files, basically word, excel, etc…
In the past I usually took out old PC harddrive and connect it to new PC available SATA port, copying files over. But, as I mention, my boss doesn’t want US to have this approach. He wants the user to be responsible for its files.
So I was thinking on a solution, so the user could copy those files to a shared network resource, granting them the access to his own folder and setting up some kind of a quota (3gb per user aproximately).
but, I am kind of worried about having too many files at once, trying to copying to a shared resource.
This needs to be done as quick as possible, since we are migrating the users to another company, and would like to return the old equipment as soon as possible.
All desktops have Windows XP Pro, and will have W 7 Pro.
any ideas?
