Hi Everyone,
I have a Dell NAS NX3200 device with 6 TB of Space and 32GB RAM. Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition is installed on this Machine (Not Storage Edition). Scenario which i want to implement on this NAS is explained below in detail:
Currently 4 Different Departments File Servers on 4 different machine are in production. All these 4 server machines are providing File and storage services to the clients / users of their respective departments (HR, Admin, IT and Planning). All of these users access there server machines shared folder with specified paths like: \\ServerName (HR)\shared_folder_name, \\ServerName(IT)\\shared_Folder. I want to discontinue all these server machines and migrate their folders with the existing user rights(Read/Write/Modify) to the particular folders.
I want to configure this NAS as like if i am an IT user i just write \\IT in the run dialog box and folders with my rights are just there to display, and if a HR user wants to open his shared folders he just write \\HR and folders shared with HR user are displayed. And same goes for other Departments. I have used Windows Server Enumeration feature to control this option, but still one step away from the exact scenario which is: i have to have mention the NAS name before accessing my folders like: \\nas\IT or \\nas\HR which i dont want.
Help is required in this regard plz.
