Migration from Novell to Microsoft Project Update

Posting Date(s)

As of the morning of Thursday, August 24, we will have completed the migration of the file systems from Novell to Microsoft. Below is a summary of some of the items that may apply to faculty and staff:

File systems (aka H, P, Q etc. drives) -  Most of your drive letters will remain unchanged (P, G, H, J and K drives will not change). However, if you are using a Q drive this will now appear as a new L drive. If you notice any problems with these drives, please reboot your computer before calling ITSS, as this clears up most issues. If you are still experiencing any difficulty, contact the ITSS Help Desk at helpdesk@upei.ca

Net Storage (aka web-based access to H and other drives) - At this time there is no direct replacement for Net Storage. There are a number of other options to access your files including VPN (for off-campus access), regular mapping of drives, Google Docs, and myUPEI. Please contact ITSS and we will help you to choose the best option that suits your needs.

Printing -  The printing migration will be relatively seamless; departmental printers will continue to function normally. We will provide more details as we migrate each department.
