Overview of Mapped Drives

Per default, two drives are mapped:

• Your home directory (H:)

• Find Your Data with itet-stor (S:)

Your Home Directory at D-ITET (H:)

This is where you should save your data. Your Windows user profile is also stored on this home directory. A scheduled backup job saves this data every night.

Find Your Data (S:)

An overview lists all network shares of D-ITET on which you have at least read permissions.

Mapping your home directory provided by ID

If you are a student and use a ISG.EE managed Windows workstation, your home directory will be provided by us. If you still want/need to access the home directory you used at Hauptgebäude, you can map it yourself.

Mapping via Windows Explorer

• * Open Windows Explorer, click on "Computer", in the toolbar click on "Map network drive"

• * In the next window, provide the following information:
  • 1) The drive letter. Select it from the dropdown list

  • 2) The path to your home directory. This is \\d.ethz.ch\dfs\users\<initial_of_your_username>\<your_username> e.g. \\d.ethz.ch\dfs\users\t\testuser

  • 3) Whether you want the drive to reconnect at a later logon. Check or uncheck that checkbox.

Mapping via the command line

For mapping the drive via the command line, open the cmd.

Type the following command:

 net use * \\d.ethz.ch\dfs\users\<initial_of_your_username>\<your_username> /persistent:yes 

This will do the following:

• -The first * will use the last available drive letter to map the drive -The option /persistent:yes will re-map the drive at a later login. Change it to /persistent:no if you do not want that
