Please find attached 3 scripts for the following the 1) UNK, 2) UNK-SR and 3) 29 OVP files that were
moved by someone without authorization. These can be converted to *.cmd files. Please have
HEEB s¢1d the Robocopy logs to me as each one is completed.
Also, as authorized by the Oversight Team this morning, please do the following manually:
1) Move/relocate the g:\ovp\pa-duplicate\ovp_2005 february 28th, 2005_ma(2).pst file (with a create
date of 3/3/2005) to the \[S\[ssues (Issues folder) since it's not in the master spreadsheet and we
do not know where it came from.
2) Delete a total of 29 OVP files that were moved without authorization from the following directories
on
5 files in fovp\pa-duplicate\
24 files in g:\ovp\pa-duplicate
