The question as to why so many shares still stands, though.
Maybe move some of these into sub-folders, so;
_home
--User1
--User2
_departments
--dept1
--dept2
Etc.
Then only *share* Home, but redirect the User folders to their own
sub-directory. In this example, you have 2 shares rather than 4 - assuming you
have hundreds of users and tens of departments, you'll still only have 2 shares.

It's our main NAS, so lots of departmental and personal home directories.
Gotta store those files somewhere ;-)

Why so many shares? This is a virus propagation nightmare waiting to happen.

We have lots of Win9x clients and are hitting a problem with the number of
shares on our NAS. As soon as we hit about 950 shares with win9x machines have
trouble browsing the share list. MS KB202892 explains the problem and suggests
a couple of fixes, one of which is shortening the comments field.
The vast majority of our shares were migrated from other servers automatically
and have a constant comment field. Does anyone know of a tool I can use to
strip the comments fields from our shares?
