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 without logging in.
To map the drives follow the instructions as illustrated in the picture below:
- Open My computer and click "Tools"
- Select "Map Network Drive".
- Select a drive letter as above and select \\ragnarok\Personnel or \\ragnarok\Students
- Click the "different user name" link
- Enter Personnel as the user and the password you obtained from Carl. There have been some reports that cut and paste does not work for the password - rather just type it in manually.
Make sure that "Reconnect at logon" is checked
