Step 1: Move Will's data on Mac file server to CIT file server
- Will will try to reconcile his two work-related "Documents" directories since they are 13GB difference in size (see table, above). One directory is visible from his iMac, and the other is visible, obviously, on his MacBook.
- Will will then move all his Documents directory files to the CIT file server so none remain on the Mac server.
Once this is down, Will primary work documents are no longer on the Mac server for either the iMac or the MacBook. Instead, those files are on the CIT server.
- We keep the Mac server running so the iMac and MacBook properly log in and experience no operational change, per se.
