= Mapped drives =

== Overview of Mapped Drives ==
Per default, two drives are mapped:
 * Your home directory (H:)
 * [[Workstations/FindYourData|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 D-ITET 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" {{attachment:w10-mapNetworkdrive.png|Windows File explorer that shows you where to click to add a new network drive. |width=600 height=600}}

 * In the next window, provide the following information:
   1. The drive letter. Select it from the dropdown list
   1. The path to your home directory. This is '''\\d.ethz.ch\users\<initial_of_your_username>\<your_username>''' e.g. \\d.ethz.ch\users\t\testuser
   3. Whether you want the drive to reconnect at a later logon. Check or uncheck that checkbox.<<BR>>{{attachment:dm04.png}}

=== 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 "*" will use the last available drive letter to map the drive
 * The option /persistent:yes will re-map the drive at a later login.
