Yah, we're currently struggling through that here at %WORK%. A huge chunk of the company's data is in a giant pile on a shared folder that's got no organization and no selective permissions at all. If you've got an account, you've got access. Currently working on it, but there are multiple challenges: (1) Changing 15+ years of thinking. (2) Figuring out who actually needs access to what. (3) Figuring out what some of this stuff even is. My favorite find so far is a working copy of Microsoft Project 3.0a (circa 1992), buried several layers deep in an archived projects folder. It still ran. Remember when you could install software just by coping files? :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
