The following is a brief overview of the most important features to make note of when using a domain-joined laptop.
On campus, you will no longer be able to connect to the AirOrangeX network. You will automatically be connected to "SUAD" (S.U. Active Directory) which is specifically configured for wireless domain-joined devices. This network connects at system start-up and provides all the benefits of a wired logon (software deployment, profile access, etc).
Your personal network storage drive (mapped as the H: drive) is automatically configured to use the Windows offline files sync feature (more info here). Basically, a copy of your H: drive is stored locally on the laptop hard drive in an encrypted directory. This allows you to access to your network files even when a network connection is not available. Any changes made to these files while working in "offline" mode are then synchronized back to the network location the next time you connect. If you notice any sync errors, marked with this icon: , let IT Services know ASAP to avoid data loss.
Several folders on the laptop, as noted below, are redirected to your H: drive storage, meaning that the files in these folders are actually stored on your H: drive, not locally on the laptop hard drive as they appear. Due to the redirection, these directories are subject to your H: drive disk space limit. We ask that you utilize this space for work-related data only.
If you require large amounts of personal storage, you are free to use the C:\My Local Files\ directory. However, be aware that this folder is not backed up or maintained by IT Services. You are responsible for these files.
