Do you store files on M:\Common?

CIT is in the process of cleaning up M:\Common on both Legacy and Leviathan. Eventually we will replace M:\Common with U:\ that all faculty and staff will have access to. U:\ (\\glacier\common) will be for TEMPORARY file access only. Any file stored on U:\ that is not modified within 18 months will be automatically deleted.

Please look at the files in M:\Common and delete any files that belong to you that you no longer need. Please do not delete any files that do not belong to you. If you have files that you need to keep but don't need to share please move them to your personal or departmental folder.

If you need to share files with people in other departments please send an email to helpdesk@calvin.edu with the name of the folder and who needs access to it. The folder will be created on R:\teams.

Thank you.


Do you use M:\Common\distill to create PDF files? It's moving

CIT has moved M:\Common\distill to U:\distill. For instructions on using this please see Convert a file to PDF format on a Windows computer. Most of you probably don't need to use the distiller any more since you can save Microsoft Office documents in PDF format using Save As then select PDF in the pull-down menu at the bottom of the window.
