After you have been transitioned to the new server the manner at which you open shared folders has changed. Permissions are only given on calendar folders now (not on the calendar AND the mailbox). As a result, you will not be opening the Mailbox of the person's calendar you share.
Instead, if you want to gain access to someone's shared calendar you click on the 'Open a Shared Calendar...' link on the bottom of the 'Calendar' navigation pane. In the resulting popup window you can type either the gatorlink username or name ([last name],[first name]) or click on the 'Name...' button and find the person within the global address book.
Once you've opened a shared calendar that calendar will be saved in the navigation pane for future access.
If you accessed calendars in the 'Public Folders' area. You must use the 'Folder List' to browse to 'Public Folders' -> 'All Public Folders' -> 'Engineering Administration'. You can right-click a calendar here and choose 'Add to favorites' from the context menu in order to have it listed in the Calendar's navigation pane.
At this time we are still working on correct permissions for some of the shared calendars and calendars in public folders. Calendars that are properly shared include:
Dean Khargonekar
Erik Sander
204 conference room
210 tutorial room
300 conference room
307 conference room
340I conference room (FNP)
Dean's Office travel/leave schedules
CNG
OER
The sharing of the following calendars will be addressed as soon as possible on Monday morning. Please let MIS know when access to these calendars is available so that the sharing permissions can be established.
Accounts on the Microsoft Exchange server are only available to
Engineering Administration. If you are a part of Engineering
Administration fill out the MIS account form and make sure that MS Exchange
(calendaring) account type is checked.
MIS manages a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server for the sole
purpose of sharing personal and office calendars. The Exchange
server is accessed through Microsoft Outlook. Many offices use
it to share scheduling of leave/holidays/meetings/conference
rooms/etc.
Microsoft Exchange can be used for more than just calendar
sharing. MIS, however, only supports calendar sharing on the
Exchange server. It is important to note that the Exchange
server is NOT used for email.
Yes, access to your network drives is available to you remotely through a
Novell server application called NetStorage. Read more about this
in the Accessing Your Network Drive From Home article.
Simple answer: yes... but you'll need to talk to us first.
Complicated answer: Remote desktop connections are possible
but are not recommended since they present a complex set of security problems
that need to be addressed. Instead, we encourage you to look into using
NetStorage for access to your network drives.
We recognize that there are instances where a remote desktop connection
is necessary. Because of this we have made a way that this is possible but
certain procedures and considerations need to be followed:
Remote desktop connections are only available using approved
software (in order for us to correctly monitor for security / bug fixes
for it).
You must have a valid work purpose for needing a remote desktop
connection.
Your supervisor must approve your request.
You must review remote desktop connection logs and report any suspicious
connections.
Remote desktop should only be enabled during periods when you expect
to need it. It should not be left on at all times.
These instructions are for Engineering administrative
workstations that have the Novell NetWare client installed:
1.
Once you are successfully logged into the
workstation press
the following three keys at the same time: Ctrl-Alt-
Del. When this is done you'll see the Network
Security popup window (example to the right).
2.
On the Netware Security popup, click the
Change Password button located at the bottom of the
window.
3.
Once the Change Password button is
clicked you will see the Change Password popup window
(example to the right).
4.
Insure that all resources are highlighted (the
top one will by your machine's name and the second one will be
the engineering tree). By highlighting all resources,
the passwords for each resource will be changed and kept the
same, or in sync.
5.
Once you have filled in the Old Password,
New Password, and Confirm New Password form
fields click the OK button.
6.
If the process worked correctly you will see the following
message in a popup: Passwords for all selected resources
were successfully changed
Using Windows Explorer this is a relatively simple task
to perform.
Open Windows Explorer and browse to the drive and
folder where the file was deleted.
Right-click the folder and select Salvage Files...
from the context-menu. (An example is to the right.)
From the Salvage
Network Files dialog (click to see an example) find
the file
that was deleted and click the Salvage File button at
the bottom of the screen. You can click on the column
headings, 'File Name' / 'Date Deleted' / 'Time Deleted' / etc,
to sort the table in order to find your file.
There are three possibilities for changing your email password:
1.
If you do not know your current password:
If you do not know your current password you'll need
to call MIS (392-9217) and ask to have your email password
changed. We will set a temporary password so that you
can change your password to something you want using
one of the methods below.
2.
If you know your current password (webmail):
Open a web browser and login to the Engineering webmail client
(
http://webmail.eng.ufl.edu). Once logged in, select the
Options link in the top menu (#1, figure one). Once at
the Options screen select the Change Password link
(#2, figure one). You will need to enter your old password and
new password twice to change your password. NOTE: This process sometimes has problems changing
passwords that use punctuation. If you have problems please
contact MIS.
Figure One:

3.
If you know your password (Eudora)
From the Special (#1, figure two), choose Change
Password... (#2, figure two). You will be guided through
the process by several dialog boxes that ask for your current
password and new passwords.
NOTE: This option is only available from your Engineering
Administration workstation in Weil Hall.
