New servers and drive letters- a quick overview

All the servers have been moved and renamed. Here's a cheat sheet including the shortcut drive letters on your computer.

H: is a shortcut to your home folder on a server called osd-home1\staff

S: is the place for sharing files internally with other staff. The share folders on the separate building servers have all been moved to a single server so that you can share more easily with staff from other buildings. These are now called "CommonShare" and are accessible at the S: drive. The building-specific folders are still intact, but that's just because we didn't want to mess with anybody's organization. 

U: is where applications live. You don't really need to use this- it's just where the apps are stored.

V: is a big drive space for storing videos.

W: is a shortcut to a server called "osd-web1" which is (as you may have guessed) a web server. The public can get to this server at http://teachers.oregon.k12.wi.us Many teacher website are hosted here. Don't put anything here if you don't want it to be public.

Here is a screenshot of the local and network volumes as they appear on a Windows7 computer.
