Unless your M: drive server has been retired, your M: drive should map automatically when you log onto the network in a PeopleSoft office, or if you check the "Logon using DialUp..." box on your Windows logon screen when RASing in.

As of Q4 2002, corporate M: drive servers are being retired. Once your server is retired, your M: drive will no longer map when you properly log onto the network. The M: drives on the following servers have been retired so far (as of February 25, 2003):

• ple-file-03
• ple-file-06
• ple_file_01 (not ple-file-01)
• ple_file_02
• psp-file-02
• psp-file-04
• psp-file-05
• psc-file-01
• psp-file-03
• pcc-file-01

 

A Planet PeopleSoft story ran about this issue (click to go to the story). You may have to log onto Planet before you can view the story.

Please open a NorthStar ticket or contact Technical Support Operations for additional help in any of the following situations. Be sure to give the name of the M: drive server you are trying to map to, if you know it:

• You have critical, business-related files you would like to recover from a retired M: drive server.

• You do not have an M: drive on a corporate server, but can't map to it

  • Make sure you are mapping to the drive properly - are you using the right number of slashes and the right kind (\\ servername\ drivename)? - see Eureka! document 50003 — How to map a drive letter.

• Your M: drive server has not been retired yet.

• You would like to request a project or department share drive (see Eureka! document 55143 — How to request a Project or Department share drive).
