UPDATE at 10:30am on Friday 6/13/2008: SERVER MIGRATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. All Department and User data should now be available on the new server BSSCOLLEGE. Thank you for your patience during the maintenance window.

We have scheduled server maintenance for Friday morning 6/13/2008. We will be moving all server shares from BSSMAIN to the new server BSSCOLLEGE. We will strive to shorten the maintenance window but many server shares will NOT be available from 8pm on Thursday until 10am on Friday morning so please plan accordingly. Starting Friday all College Department and private user shares will only be available on the new server BSSCOLLEGE. Those of you with mapped network drives (I: and J: drives) will simply need to reboot your computer and the new server shares should be available under My Computer. Those of you who use shortcuts to the server and those using Mac OSX will need to alter your network paths to reflect the move to the new server.

Windows Example:

Old Path: \\bssmain.bssnt.sfsu.edu\username$

New Path: \\bsscollege.bssnt.sfsu.edu\Users$\username

Mac OSX Example:

Old Path: smb://bssmain.bssnt.sfsu.edu/username$

New Path: smb://bsscollege.bssnt.sfsu.edu/Users$/username
