LOGGING IN |
Start the PC and log in with your user name and password. Your user name hasn’t changed and looks like lastnameFirstInitial(s). E.g: for Maria Jones: JonesM
The domain has changed. Enter AD for the domain name.
If your PC is on already –because your computer was just changed into an a UT-workstation- click “Switch user” in the middle of your screen, and log in with your user name.
Make sure the domain is set to AD.
CHECK THAT YOUR DATA IS THERE |
1. |
Check via Start > Computer if the network drives are there. |
These are the M: (My Documents), P: (Projects) and U: (UT) drives.
2. |
If you created a backup of the local data of your previous workstation, you need to transfer those to your computer. |
If you made your backup using the Data Migration Tool, your backup will be located at \\ad.utwente.nl\ut\Tempstorage.
This is also where you find the corresponding Restore Tool to transfer the backed up files to their new destinations.
Double click \\ad.utwente.nl\ut\Tempstorage\RestoreTool.hta to start the restore.
Transfer personal data to the M: drive.
Data shared with others for a project to the P: drive.
The U: drive is dedicated to documents relevant to the whole UT community.
Your backup will be automatically and definitely deleted after 28 days!
On your workstation you will find a second local drive, D:. You can store local data here, but you are responsible for backups of this drive yourself.
Don’t store data on the C: drive. This drive is reserved for the operating system and application programs.
