Abstract Your Servers By Using DFS

As a company with multiple locations grows, it becomes harder and harder to find data located on servers distributed throughout the organization. Compounding the problem are employees who transfer from one location to the other, or who travel and access their data from different locations. Finally, when it comes time to migrate from an old server to a new one, often there problems due to renaming of the server - applications may break, or users become confused about where the data has gone. You can use DFS to avoid or minimize ALL of these problems with a little planning. I've worked on several structures for doing this for some time, and think you'll benefit greatly by using my ideas. The nice thing is, you don't HAVE to start from scratch - you can put the ideas in place and show them to users as a more convenient way to work, and they will likely choose the new access methods.
