I am implementing a NAS solution to consolidate the data from my NT4 servers. I would really appreciate some form of how-to, or checklist to build my project plan from. I have checked out the MS storage server website, Windows and server mag site, and technet without any luck. Have you seen such information? please let me kno

Summary: There are many scenarios where you will want Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths to remain unchanged when the underlying files are moved to other servers or to other paths. For example, you may want to preserve the UNC paths that users are accustomed to if you migrate or consolidate your existing file servers to new Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computers. The paths may be embedded in links, in line-of-business applications, and in other places where the names are difficult to change. This article describes a software update that provides the functionality to keep UNC paths the same when you move the path's underlying files. The software update modifies the Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS) server to permit the DFS server to return referrals for servers that no longer exist. The DFS server that permits this functionality is referred to as the DFS root server |

Per my first response. Those links do contain information on our Distributed
File System (DFS).
