Migration Day

Things you should know about the MESA migration

Prior to Migration

  • If you have a Novell account on the H drive you should delete files that you no longer use.
  • If you have personal files on the S drive that are listed under Folder Type "User" on Novell S Drive then you should either move to your personal H drive or download to your computer for later upload to MESA M user drive.
  • Before migration day, go to http://password.gmu.edu to activate your new MESA password.
  • Be sure to logout of Novell on Friday, Nov. 16, 200.
  • Leave network printers turned "ON" in your office.

Migration Day

  • Bring in laptops so that MESA software may be loaded, if you plan to access the MESA drives from home.
  • All the associated data from each person's H: drive will be moved automatically into the MESA M:User drive. A MESA user account has been requested for all faculty and staff who did not previously have a Novell account.
  • Novell and shared files on the S: drive will be automatically moved into MESA according to the folder structure.
  • ITU technical staff will be coming through CEHD offices spaces and working on each computer on migration day.
  • Migration schedule by building will be released when received by ITU.
