As part of the project to move from Novell to Microsoft, all files and folders on the Faculty/Staff Z: drive will be copied to the new Microsoft server. This Z: drive will be taken off-line at 5:30pm on Friday, 08/19/2011. Service will be restored by about noon on Saturday, 08/20/2011.

When the process is complete a second prompt for the user’s password will appear during the network login process. This is necessary because, for most employees, this migration of Z: drive data will be the first time they will access files stored on the new Microsoft file servers. Eventually, as departments are moved, one-by-one, to be completely located on the Microsoft servers (P: drives, G: drives and the physical computers themselves) the need for this second password entry prompt will disappear.
