Created page with 'We use the following convention for the mapped drives: * Drive P: for Personnel files. These files can not be accessed at all (viewed or changed) without logging in as personne...'

New page

We use the following convention for the mapped drives:

* Drive P: for Personnel files. These files can not be accessed at all (viewed or changed) without logging in as personnel.
* Drive S: for Student files. These files can be changed by personnel but can be viewed withoug logging in.

To map the drives,

* Open My Computer.
* From the file menu, select "Map Network Drive".
* Select a drive letter as above
* Select \\ragnarok\Personnel or \\ragnarok\Students
* Select "Log in as different user"
* Enter Personnel as the user and the password you obtained from [mailto:carl.sandrock@up.ac.za Carl].
* Make sure that "Establish connection at login" is checked

Drive P: and S: will now show up under My Computer (when you have done the above procedure twice). You can change files on both of them, just remember that anyone can see the files under drive S:, while only personnel can see drive P:
