I'm shocked that your end-users get to decide what shares they want.
How do they justify them?

I could improve your work flow and get that down to 3 weeks using PowerShell
and Windows Workflow Foundation.
That being said - the process is truly even more complex than that in some
environments.

I'm not a SAN expert. But for typical RAID subsystems, I don't want the
physical queue to exceed the number of disks in the array. If it does, then
I've got excessive queuing and degraded performance.
I don't see how it would be different for a SAN, but I dunno.

I get that a lot. :)
And I also use my blog as an immense resource for myself. If I know I wrote an
article, the easiest way to find it - search on my blog.

I would never do that. I do try to get my name in front of past customers at
least once a quarter, usually via a quick-tip of some type that I think would
apply to their environment.

I put off starting my own business for YEARS because I was afraid of what I
already knew. :-) Whereas, in retrospect, I wish I'd done it much earlier.
I can think of someone else on this mailing list (who is in Alaska this week)
who waited even longer than I did. :-)

Wow, nobody. I
Take a look at DPM. It can almost certainly do what you want and need.

Quite a number of them in the great northwest. Probably because Seattle (in
Pioneer Square) has the founding location of Utilikilts.
