File and Folder Nirvana

For a few days I will be focused on files and folders. If you were here you would easily recognize them because they can be found everywhere. About 100 GBs worth of them. I was fortunate at my last gig to have a predecessor that was quite anal about keeping the servers clean. No such luck here. Seeing the file server max out, the last IT Manager simply moved things to different servers then manually (i.e. inconsistently) created drive mappings on every workstation.

Without an ounce of sarcasm I want to state that this is SO AWESOME! I get to figure out the purpose of each folder, document everyone's individual drive mappings, create naming conventions because there were never any, develop security structure cause everyone's got access to everything (even you!), and create login scripts and group policies to automate some of this crap. FUN!

Okay, so there was a little sarcasm.
