I guess that you should be able to get management support but will discover that you might not get authorization to do as you preferred, but get some constraints imposed. But you'll need management support to end current practices. If you were assigning all those projects to you and not management, I fear that you'll create more troubles. Or do you refer to the setup of controls project?.Or do you refer to the establishment of SOP project for the file server?.Or do you refer to the file server cleanup project?.Do you refer to the file server migration project?.I did not understand to which project you refer and who assigned which one to you?.MisterFerret wrote:Anyone took on a project like this before? So with such links, you won't have that much storage occupied as the links themselves occupy very little storage. And then there may be hard and soft links too as far as supported by the file systems involved. There may be valid reasons to have several versions of same file. Some copies might not be duplicates but different versions of same file instead. Users may have used different names for copies.

He would probably need JAM Software TreeSize Professional or some other edition to run in an environment with AD. But JAM Software TreeSize Free is probably not supported for the context of the OP. TreeSize Free | JAM Software () Opens a new window It will even find duplicate files with different names. I have been using TreeSize for years to find duplicate files. Anyone took on a project like this before? Is there a good duplicate file finder out there that anyone has used? I'll be fixing the structure and permissions as part of this, but is there anything I should keep in mind while I go? Of course, there's no way I can go through the half million images to find duplicates without losing my mind. I've migrated file servers before, but never something that has been this neglected for this long.
Just deleting the dups will easily reduce the consumed space by 20% or 's.a lot. As I'm going along I've realized there there is easily 3 or more copies of product images and reports scattered about all over the place that need to go. It's an awful mess in there, before I came along it was pretty much a free-for-all with no meaningful controls in place so folks just saved whatever they felt like wherever the felt like it. I'm in the process of moving a very messy file server to a new install, cleaning up and organizing as I go.
