<hr />
<div>Map a drive using Group Preferences<br />
Create a GPO<br />
Under security filters add the user or group you want to apply policy to. <br />
Note:since this preference is in the User settings you must use users account to apply the policy No computers<br />
edit the GPO<br />
Go under USER Configuraion>Prefernces>Drive Maps<br />
right click and choose new<br />
>mapped drive<br />
action:Create<br />
location: map to dfs drive. ex \\wolftech.ad.ncsu.edu\cnr\projects\tip<br />
Drive letter : pick a drive letter<br />
Click to Show all drives<br />
<br />
if you want the ability to delete the map drive ...go to common>apply once and do not reapply<br />
<br />
Note: if you create this policy at the top of your ou the user will see their drives on any computer in the OU. If you want to prevent that create the policy at a lower level. <br />
<br />
Also if you want to exclude one person out of a guard dog created group...Add the user name under the GPO delegation tab.Then after they show up in the list click on Advance and change the security setting for that user to deny. This will prevent the policy from applying.<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: if you have laptops users complaining that they are loosing drives. First disable the Wireless adapters configuration tool under services. Then start the Windows Zero Configuation service. If you are still having issues update the wireless drivers. In my case it fixed 3 Intel 3945ABG laptops.</div>Rdnorrishttps://tools.wolftech.ncsu.edu/support/index.php?title=Active_Directory/Documentation/Autologon&diff=8374Active Directory/Documentation/Autologon2008-04-01T11:59:43Z<p>Rdnorris: A link to the Auto logon Tool</p>

<div>PsExec is a software tool that allows you to remotely push out files and patches. The link to download PsExec is listed below. An Example of using PsExec is to remotely delete old Profiles. For this I needed to download Delprof.exe from Microsoft. I also profided the link below. I then copied the files to a Network Share. I then created a local .bat file called del.bat. Here is the line I used in the bat file. <br />
<br />
\\wolftech.ad.ncsu.edu\files\cnr\packages\cnr\Profiles\delprof /q /I /d:60 <br />
<br />
I then saved a list of IPs in my labs to a txt file. You can use computer names too. In my example I used a file called biltmorelabs.txt. <br />
<br />
note: I copied the Psexec,del.bat and the txt files to a folder called profiles. <br />
<br />
Then from a cmd line I ran the following command to delete the old profiles. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
psexec @c:\profiles\biltmorelabs.txt -U wolftech\rdnorris.admin -c "c:\profiles\del.bat" <br />
<br />
After I hit enter I am prompted for my password. It should delete the profiles and give you an error code 0 if the running of the delprof.exe is successful. <br />

Considering the data network of NC State, it probably advantageous to make use of its resources.

NC State makes minimum reccomendations for new computers for the advantage of its users and its network.<br />
<br />
If you are planning on purchashing a new computer, printer, or other piece of technology to be used here on campus, it must meet or exceed all the minimun requirements given for a new purchase. If you are unsure or unaware of what these are, then just contact Wolftech and we can tell you wether or not your system will be acceptable.

<br />
Starting a project sometime? Planning for the future? Sure you are--there has to be something you feel like upgrading, modifying, or altering. Now, here's the catch, if you do not know a great deal about the technology behind the system and the requirements of what you are about to get into, you need IT consulting on your project.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{storage toc}}<br />
Networks allow people from all over the world to interact. NC State's own data network provides the resources needed for faculty, staff, and students to communcate with each other. Such correspondance neccesitates a certain amount of storage space for keeping school and personal documents.<br />
<br />
Need to use:<br />
*http://www.wolftech.ncsu.edu/support/support/Backups <br />
<br />
==Standard AFS==<br />
Students here at NC State are given 50 MB of AFS storage space, or quota, for keeping all their files on the University servers. There are times, however, when this is not enough. A professor may require group or individual projects which would cause the students to exceed their individual quotas. It is for this reason Course Workspace Lockers are available--to provide additional space for students should they need it.<br />
<br />
This space can be accessed in a number of ways. On Suns, your default directory is your AFS space. Using the command "cd ~" will return you to it at any point. On Windows machines, the Wolfcall softwaare will mount this space as your K: drive. Additionally, you can use an FTP client and connect to http://ftp.ncsu.edu to access your files.<br />
<br />
==Course Workspace==<br />
{{itecs}}<br />
Instructors in the College of Engineering are the only people allowed to request additional workspace. The augmented quota is free of charge, but is not added on to existing quota. Course workspace works in conjunction with WolfWare to generate access lists to various lockers. Instructors can configure lockers for common access, group access, or student access; effectively granting or limiting access to certain groups.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that the Spring 2003 semester was the first semester course workspace lockers were offered. They are still in the testing phase, so please be patient. Regular backups are not done on this space, and information is lost at the end of the semester the course is taught. Data is also not archived, so you must contact [mailto:eoshelp@ncsu.edu eoshelp@ncsu.edu] for information regarding preservation of content before the end of the semester.<br />
<br />
For more information regarding Course Workspace Lockers, pleace visit the official Course Workspace Lockers page. To request a [http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/workspace.html Course Workspace Locker], go to the [http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/request/ Locker Request] page.<br />
<br />
==Research and Administrative Space==<br />
{{itecs}}<br />
This, however, is only for faculty to request more quota should students need it. What if, in the course of their research, they should happen to need more disk quota? Well, that is what the Administrative and Research lockers are for. This are secure lockers designed for materials that do not need to be on the Internet.<br />
<br />
When requesting an administrative or research locker, faculty and staff must note who owns the locker, who has access to the locker, how large of a quota is needed, and a name for the locker. The configurations for the lockers are identical, but the paths to the lockers differ slightly.<br />
<br />
Research lockers have the added option for individual user lockers. Should you desire for your research users to each have extra AFS space, we can create space for them under a "users" directory. By default, all memebers of the research group have the ability to see other users' research. If requested, this may be turned off; however, the locker owner will always have read privileges over the entirity of their locker.<br />
<br />
In contrast to course workspace lockers, administrative and research lockers are backed up on a regular basis. They are backed up nightly and you can request a backup for any file no older than 28 days old. The locker itself can not be used for delivering any sort of web content. For more information on administrative and research lockers, plesase visit the [http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/admres.html Admin and Research Locker Request] page.<br />
<br />
===Adding UserSpace to your Research Locker===<br />
<br />
http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/portal<br />
<br />
On the site above, you should see your research space, under the section "Research". <br />
Click on it. The page you now see has some basic information about your volume, and 4 menus at the bottom. <br />
<br />
Click "View/Edit User Volumes". Here you can delete old volumes, change quotas (click "edit") for individuals, or create a new user locker (type the unityID in the empty box, click "Add"). You may also request that lockers be deleted.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mapping drives to Older NAS devices==<br />
<br />
Some older NAS devices are not able to handle the higher security settings that active directory uses. For example the Buffaloe NAS is inaccessible to active directory computers without a group policy to simplify authentication. <br />
<br />
To fix create a new group policy that makes the following change. <br />
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Security Options<br />
Network security: LAN Manager authentication level = Send NTLM response only<br />
<br />
==Connecting to a Share on a Active Directory computer from a non Acive Directory system==<br />
<br />
If a organization is in the middle of upgradding to active Directory it may need to be able to connect to a share on a Active Directory machine from a system that is not part of the domain. To do this go to START>RUN and type in the IP of the Machine that has the share. Then when prompted for user name and password . Type this in as the user name wolftech.ad.ncsu.edu\rdnorris (user name). After doing this you should be able to connect as long as that user has the correct rights to the network share.</div>Rdnorrishttps://tools.wolftech.ncsu.edu/support/index.php?title=Storage&diff=6413Storage2006-12-07T15:18:15Z<p>Rdnorris: </p>

<div>{{storage toc}}<br />
Networks allow people from all over the world to interact. NC State's own data network provides the resources needed for faculty, staff, and students to communcate with each other. Such correspondance neccesitates a certain amount of storage space for keeping school and personal documents.<br />

==Standard AFS==<br />
Students here at NC State are given 50 MB of AFS storage space, or quota, for keeping all their files on the University servers. There are times, however, when this is not enough. A professor may require group or individual projects which would cause the students to exceed their individual quotas. It is for this reason Course Workspace Lockers are available--to provide additional space for students should they need it.<br />
<br />
This space can be accessed in a number of ways. On Suns, your default directory is your AFS space. Using the command "cd ~" will return you to it at any point. On Windows machines, the Wolfcall softwaare will mount this space as your K: drive. Additionally, you can use an FTP client and connect to http://ftp.ncsu.edu to access your files.<br />
<br />
==Course Workspace==<br />
{{itecs}}<br />
Instructors in the College of Engineering are the only people allowed to request additional workspace. The augmented quota is free of charge, but is not added on to existing quota. Course workspace works in conjunction with WolfWare to generate access lists to various lockers. Instructors can configure lockers for common access, group access, or student access; effectively granting or limiting access to certain groups.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that the Spring 2003 semester was the first semester course workspace lockers were offered. They are still in the testing phase, so please be patient. Regular backups are not done on this space, and information is lost at the end of the semester the course is taught. Data is also not archived, so you must contact [mailto:eoshelp@ncsu.edu eoshelp@ncsu.edu] for information regarding preservation of content before the end of the semester.<br />
<br />
For more information regarding Course Workspace Lockers, pleace visit the official Course Workspace Lockers page. To request a [http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/workspace.html Course Workspace Locker], go to the [http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/request/ Locker Request] page.<br />
<br />
==Research and Administrative Space==<br />
{{itecs}}<br />
This, however, is only for faculty to request more quota should students need it. What if, in the course of their research, they should happen to need more disk quota? Well, that is what the Administrative and Research lockers are for. This are secure lockers designed for materials that do not need to be on the Internet.<br />
<br />
When requesting an administrative or research locker, faculty and staff must note who owns the locker, who has access to the locker, how large of a quota is needed, and a name for the locker. The configurations for the lockers are identical, but the paths to the lockers differ slightly.<br />
<br />
Research lockers have the added option for individual user lockers. Should you desire for your research users to each have extra AFS space, we can create space for them under a "users" directory. By default, all memebers of the research group have the ability to see other users' research. If requested, this may be turned off; however, the locker owner will always have read privileges over the entirity of their locker.<br />
<br />
In contrast to course workspace lockers, administrative and research lockers are backed up on a regular basis. They are backed up nightly and you can request a backup for any file no older than 28 days old. The locker itself can not be used for delivering any sort of web content. For more information on administrative and research lockers, plesase visit the [http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/admres.html Admin and Research Locker Request] page.<br />

===Adding UserSpace to your Research Locker===<br />
<br />
http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/lockers/portal<br />
<br />
On the site above, you should see your research space, under the section "Research". <br />
Click on it. The page you now see has some basic information about your volume, and 4 menus at the bottom. <br />
<br />
Click "View/Edit User Volumes". Here you can delete old volumes, change quotas (click "edit") for individuals, or create a new user locker (type the unityID in the empty box, click "Add"). You may also request that lockers be deleted.<br />
<br />

==Mapping drives to Older NAS devices==<br />
<br />
Some older NAS devices are not able to handle the higher security settings that active directory uses. For example the Buffaloe NAS is inaccessible to active directory computers without a group policy to simplify authentication. <br />
<br />
To fix create a new group policy that makes the following change. <br />
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Security Options<br />
Network security: LAN Manager authentication level = Send NTLM response only</div>Rdnorris
