Staff Archiving Part 2 - File Servers

Modified on Tue, 18 Aug at 11:29 AM



Step 1:

Remote desktop into the four staff file servers as per below:

Lowestoft - fs2

Great Yarmouth - fs4

L6 - fs8

The Place - fs12


Once on the file servers find the user's folders in the Desktop/ Documents drive



Step 2:

Go to the Archive Area - \\10.0.126.100\Archive\Staff, if a year exists eg 2026 then use that folder, if a year does not exist eg 2027, then create a folder a "Staff Archive 2027" folder.



Step 3:

Create a folder with the username of the account, eg j.bloggs & copy the user's Desktop & Documents to that folder.

Once copied, delete that users Desktop & Documents from the file server & move onto the next user.


Update the spreadsheet as you go, so you don't loose track of who are you archiving.



Step 4:

Now delete the user's roaming profile, this is usually on the same drive that Documents are on.


Note - if user is on fs4 & the profile was created before September 2021, then you will need to change permissions on the profile in order to delete it.



The file server has now been completed.
