CONNECTING: 

Purpose: Provide steps to migrate Business Office to new storage.

You will only need to make the following change on the Mac in the office:

Old way: 

• afp://filebiz.ucsd.edu

Image Removed

New way: 

• smb://filebiz.ucsd.edu

Image Removed

Notice the only change above is the first three letters of the URL, from "afp" to "smb". If you are already using SMB (or CIFS) to mount, you will not need to change.
