As the next step in the process of Information Systems moving from Novell to Microsoft for network file and print services, we will be moving STUDENT files. This will impact users as follows:

The process begins at noon on Thursday, 04 AUG and we hope to complete it by noon on Friday, 05 AUG.

There will be NO network access to student PERSONAL files (P: drive), SHARED files (Z: drive) or CLASSDATA files (V: drive).

Lab computers will be usable but for STUDENTS no P:, Z: or V: drives will be mapped. Any EMU employees who login to a lab computer (or teacher workstation) will not have V: drive mapping.

Specialty programs on lab computers that execute from the M: drive will be unavailable.

Lab computers WILL be able to access the Internet as well as the lab printers.

After the STUDENT files have been moved to the Microsoft network (we have named it the ROYALS domain), several things will be different for all users. A follow up email will be sent when the process has been completed and it will describe the changes brought about with moving STUDENT data to the Microsoft ROYALS domain.

This outage announcement will be updated when the process has been completed about noon on Friday, 05 AUG.
