You might have a point. I'll see how it goes. It's accessing the file server over a 10GB link and the server is being decommissioned so as a lot of people hit it, the same group of people will no longer use it for file access so it should in theory balance out. At the time I was trying to keep it a bit simple. I already had exactly what I needed in the file to indicate that the computer had already run the script so I didn't think that adding something else into the mix would be efficient. However, you're right. It's something I should monitor. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: Wednesday 1 June 2016 13:54 To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Migrating to a new file server. Hi, Nice script. I have one comment: When identifying if the script has been ran before, is it possible you would slow things down by looking at the file on the network share, especially if a lot of computers are involved? Thanks. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Darragh Ó Héiligh [d@digitaldarragh.com] Sent: 01 June 2016 10:01 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Migrating to a new file server. Solved. I have written a script to automate a lot of the steps that I mentioned in my original Email. I ran the first migration using this method this morning and it went flawlessly. The users are delighted and I've done it with absolutely no down time. The script and the explanation of the various problems encountered is on my blog at: http://www.digitaldarragh.com/2016/06/01/logon-script-to-migrate-users-to-a-... Any and all feedback is very welcome. If there are ways you would improve this script I'd like to hear about them.
