Quick Start Guide

Overview

Your network account grants you access to network storage areas, printing facilities, an email account, and remote network access via our VPN service. If you are a new starter, then please refer to the New Starter page on the right hand side. 

Usernames

There are two usernames you will require whilst working at the Jenner:

  1. Novell login: This login is assigned by MSD IT. MSD is the IT service team who look after Oxford University's Medical Sciences Division. As a general rule your login will consist of your first initial, followed by your surname (i.e Andrew Allen has a user name of aallen). If you are a new starter, the Jenner HR and IT team will provide you with login details as part of your induction.
  2. Single Sign On (SSO): Your SSO is assigned by Oxford University, for more information about SSO please follow this link.

Accessing The Network From Windows

When logging on to a PC you will be using a program called Novell Zenworks. Once logged in, a script will run, enabling you to have your drives mapped. Access to drives will be based on the permissions you have been allocated. The automatic drives are as follows:

  • H:\ for your Personal Drive
  • S:\ for the Jenner Hill Drive

If you require access to other drives please contact the IT Manager. If you are unsure which drives you should be accessing, then please speak to your Line Manager or Supervisor. 

Accessing The Network From A Macintosh Computer

There is no Novell client for Mac. When in finder you will need to select 'Go' then choose 'Connect to server':

  • S drive = afp://jenner.imsu.ox.ac.uk (folder is called hill_group)
  • H drive = afp://jennerhome.imsu.ox.ac.uk
