Thank  you for assisting us in the migration to the new server.  Here is the information you need to expedite this upgrade for your department.

Who needs an account on Artemis?

 We will send you a list of existing Novell accounts for your department. Please review these and divide them into three groups: 

• Permanent staff - keep these accounts .

• These people no longer work at Barnard - delete these accounts.

• Generic department account - this account has been used by student employees and temporary employees.

Please send this information back to the Help Desk.

You may have permanent staff members who do not have Novell accounts now.   If they need to store files on the new server, please send us a list of their names.

Generic accounts eliminated. 

• These accounts will be replaced by individual accounts for student employees and temporary employees.   

• MINS will create a "Shared Student Folder" for documents that will be used by student and temporary employees.  

  • These users will not have personal folders on the server. 

  • Please send us the names of the employees who need access to this new directory.

• Do  you have documents and files stored in your generic account?

  • YES: If you know the password to the generic account, please inspect these files and tell us  where to place these on Artemis. The most common answer is in the "Shared Student Folder".

  •  MAYBE:  If you do  not know password for the generic account, we will ask MINS to place these directories (maintaining current folder names) inside the Department Head's personal drive. 

• If you need to add and delete accounts for student and temporary employees, please send an email to the Help Desk.

• Please note, you do not need an account on Artemis for network printing.  Artemis is only used to store files.

When will my department move to Artemis?

• With a few exceptions, we are moving the faculty first.
• Scheduling is our largest problem.  We need two weeks lead time to review the current accounts and put your department into the pipeline. Please see the Artemis Timetable for a typical timetable.  The Coordinator reminds everyone in department that Athena access will be disconnected at 4 p.m. on the day preceding Migration.
• If you want to move your department soon, please call the Help Desk.  

Planning issues:

• If a departmental administrator handles several departments, it is best to migrate all of those departments on the same day.  When the departmental administrator moves to Artemis, he or she will no longer  have access to the shared drive of the department left behind on Athena.  In this case, the departmental administrator should make copies of Athena files on a local computer and restore them to Artemis at a later date.
• It is best to select a Migration Day when most users are available.  In the case of shared computers, AT will install the new software on the computer on Migration Day.  We will follow-up with the multiple users about setting each new Novell password.  

What Artemis / Diana folders will the user see?

• personal folder
  • one for each permanent staff member
• department shared staff folder
  • shared by all permanent staff members in that department
  • department can grant access to selected members of other departments
• department shared student folder
  • seen by student employees in that department
  • seen by temporary employees in that department
  • seen by permanent staff in that department
• Document Services drive on another server "Diana"
  • this is where you deposit print jobs
• Public on Artemis - used by the Novell System
