Q: What is the measure of success/ completion? Is it reduced need for EZ-Backups?

But as with any change in workflow, conventions may need to be discussed and agreed on, and new skills and habits developed.
PhysIT can make this server "drive" appear automatically on Windows computers so it becomes easily available on staff computers. This is almost immediate, once committed, via Active Directory (AD) policy.
- This "R:\" drive will appear on Windows computer which get the appropriate AD policy applied. The policy is scoped to groups of people, not computers. Initially, the people scoped are all Physics Admin staff and some technical staff (Vince, Mark, and Jenny).
  - Note 1: The technical staff group as scoped in PhysIT's AD group includes Nick but he doesn't log into a PhysIT AD computer. Thus, he won't see the "R:" drive on his work computer since that computer is not on CU AD.
  - Note 2: Vince logs into a Mac so that won't get the file storage mounted automatically. PhysIT can get it mounted automatically by making a few changes at his computer directly, upon request.
- KEY: The "R:\" drive can safely be ignored by folks not using the service, but they may appreciate knowing why it has appeared on their computer.
