Directly connect to the student server

When experiencing issues with the students being able to connect to their section of the server (often referred to as the Z drive) use the following steps to directly connect to an individuals section of the server:

 

1.  Click on the start icon

 

2.     In the search bar enter in \\hx-vm\students\2016\student username  (example: \\hx-vm\students\2016\ka011398)

Please note: in this example I used 2016, which is the class' graduating year, this number will alter depending on the grade level.

 

3.      Then press the enter key.

4.     This will automatically bring up the students shared section of the server so that they can pull their files off of the server to work on and save the file back into the server.

 

Please remind your students that they should be saving to at least 3 of the 4 places that we've setup for them.

 

Save to the Computer

Save to a thumbdrive

Save to the server

Save to Windows Live

 

This will ensure that your students do not have the opportunity to "lose" their work.
