YOUR NETWORK AND E-MAIL
ACCOUNT When you are fully registered
as a student, you will be provided with an on-campus Novell NetWare network and
e-mail account. You must log onto the Novell
NetWare network in order to use the Windows computers and to have services such
as printing. (Note: This is not the same as logging on “Workstation Only.”) You
are responsible for reading messages sent to your Union e-mail account.
LOGIN
INFORMATION This
is the information you will need in order to log onto the Novell NetWare
network for the first time:
|
YOUR USERNAME |
S###### (# = your student ID) |
|
YOUR TEMPORARY PASSWORD* |
SSMMDD (4th & 5th
digit of your SSN/month born/day born) *Example: SS = 411-02-6430 MM = 08 (August) DD = 04 Temporary
Password (example) = 020804 |
WARNING: You will have a limited amount of grace logons
using your temporary password. The system
will no longer let you log on after you have used all of your grace logons. So, change your password AS SOON AS YOU ARE
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO!
o
After you have
logged onto the Novell NetWare logon screen, you will see the Windows 2000 logon
screen. The username is always: student.
Leave the password blank and click OK.
o
Use your
username (S######) and newly set password for future logins.
NETWORK DRIVES
AVAILABLE Once logged onto the campus
network, you will have available:
Ø
Networked computer drives:
o
S##### (sometimes called G drive): S######,
where ###### is your personal Union ID number, such as s123456. This drive is your personal network
drive. It provides ten (10) megabytes of
storage space that is accessible only to the student to whom it is assigned.
You can use part of this space for posting web pages by creating a folder named
public_html in your G: folder; anything placed in
that folder will be available at student.uu.edu/~S######. Only you can save and
open files in your personal space. No other students can access your space
without them having your username and your password. Therefore, it is very important that you do
the following:
v
Log off each
time you finish using your network account,
v
Do not share
your password with anyone.
o
Read (sometimes called O drive): The Read O:
drive is used by some faculty members to distribute documents to students in
their classes. Your teachers will tell
you if they use this drive for document distribution. You are able to Open (hence, O:) or
drag/copy files from this network drive to other drives, but you are not able
to save files on O: drive.
o
Write (sometimes called S drive): The Write S:
drive is used by students to submit documents to some faculty members. Your teachers will let you know if they want
you to use this drive to submit work.
You are able to drag/copy files from a drive to a folder on the Write
drive. Due to security constraints, you
will not be able to see your file in any folder on the S: drive. In other words, even if you submit a document
correctly to your teacher, you cannot see the file in the folder to verify its
existence there. Your teacher is the
only one who can see the contents of folders on the S: drive. You should also save your work to another
drive (G:, Zip, or floppy) and then drag a copy of the file to the S: drive.
o
TmpShare (sometimes
called T drive): The Temp T: drive can be used temporarily by students to share
files for up to seven days with other students.
Be aware that if you save a file on the TmpShare
drive, all students on campus have full access to the file, including being
able to open, change, rename, and delete it.
You should also know that the files on the TmpShare
drive will be automatically deleted
by the network system after seven days.
You should keep another copy of the file on your G: drive or on a ZIP or
floppy disk.
Ø
Networked printing services
o
You must be logged
into the campus network in order to print in the computer labs. Laser printing is free. The printer is located in the lobby. You will need to ask a student lab assistant
to allow your document to be printed.
