For users who do not have an "H" drive when the log into the domain (10-29-09)

Click on start then run then type \\files.engr.uconn.edu\home , you will see what used to be your “Z” drive. Once inside this, create a new directory by right clicking, then going to "new" then going to folder. Call this folder “private_home” (you MUST include the underscore, not the quotes). You should then move any files you want to be accessible from your "H" drive into that directory. After you have moved those files, log out and log back in, and your “H” drive should be restored.
