Due to the simplification of administration and technical solutions, users' PC profiles in study rooms are being modified. Above all, the IT background and technologies are changing, but students will also notice small changes in their profiles.
First, we point out that there is no need to worry about losing data or anything else; the change is rather technological. You can find your original profile together with the backed up data on disk K (see the figure below) in the old_roamingprofile folder. It is still possible to use the scan folder to find your scanned documents.
The "new" student PC profile has a 25 GB capacity and a set limit that there is a risk of data loss if it exceeds 30 GB. Although the system will automatically notify you first, you should store all large data on disk K, which has unlimited capacity.
In the profile, you will now find the same content settings as you are used to from your home computers and laptops, i.e., classic folders such as Downloads, Documents, etc. To a greater extent, all possible application settings are also preserved, in case of problems, we recommend reinstalling them.
If you have any problems, please contact your faculty IT administrator.
TIP
Remember that profile files are only accessible from PCs in study rooms and computer labs - so we recommend using OneDrive from university Office 365 to access your documents from anywhere.
Do you want to know the news about Microsoft 365 tools used at the university? What changes and improvements await us in 2024? We have prepared a webinar for you, where we will not only summarize all the current information, but also look at tips on how to work (together) more securely and efficiently in Microsoft 365.
Microsoft 365 is one of the basic tools for work and study at Masaryk University. That's why colleagues from the Institute of Computing Science have prepared a course for you that will help you become more familiar with it. Try it yourself!
