When you log into any computer from
school, a window will appear and a login script will run mapping the
appropriate drives that you have access to.
If there are no problems with your script
the window will disappear after the script finish mapping your
drives.
If there is a problem, one or more of your
drives may not map properly. Reasons for login script error can
range from insufficient rights to a specific file or directory.
If you experience login problems, please
make note of the error, reboot the computer, and attempt to login
again. If you get the same error, please submit a Helpdesk ticket
and/or
call the Helpdesk.
Every faculty/staff member at Gonzaga is
mapped to two drives: an H:/ (or home) drive and a K:/ (or common)
drive. You may be mapped to other network drives depending on your
requirements for accessing specific data on the network.
Your H:/ drive is your location on the
network for storing your files. Only you will have access to the
files you save there. All files should be saved to the H:/ drive.
This is done for two reasons: 1) you are not dependent to one
computer around school 2) these files are backed up every night. If
there should be a problem with your primary computer, you will not
lose any information if it must be replaced.
Your K:/ drive is a common drive on the
network where everyone has full access to every file that is saved
there. The main reasons for saving to the K:/ drive would be to
share a file(s) among colleagues without having to use a floppy disk
or at their convenience.
Each department has a directory on the K:/
drive only department members have access too. You can save files to
either section of the K:/ drive
Any file
or document on the K:/ is readable by every faculty/staff member. If
you have sensitive information, placing it on the K:/ drive is not
recommended and we are not responsible for whoever reads it.
