... h2. Introduction. What is "eGCC"?
*"eGCC" is the working title we are using to differentiate resources available on the new "gccaz" domain from those available on the current "emp" domain (glory accounts) or previously available on the "acad" domain (gecko" accounts). This information applies to all Employees who use a computer in their office or work area, and access it with a "glory" account. Please note that no "emp" domain" computers have been migrated to the new environment.*
*Q:* _How will this be different from the "old environment?"_
*A:* _From on campus:_
# You will still be able to access your "palette" H Drive, but the process is slightly different, old drive mappings to Gecko or GCFSx should not be used.
# Your *Palette (eGCC) username{*}and password remains the same, and you will still use your glory username/password to log into your office computer. Please note that your *MEMO* account (for email) and your *Maricopa Enterprise ID*(for Blackboard and the New Student System) also remain as they were. They are not related to the Palette (eGCC) username and password.
# The new system has one streamlined area to store files on the network, both shared space and personal space (no need to memorize server names or different passwords).
*A:* _From off campus:_
# It's easier to access your networked files and course folders.
# Although it is invisible your files and all of GCC's data in gccaz is much more secure and therefore less vulnerable to hackers.
h2. H: Drive - Network Space for storing your personal files
h4. All students and employees have H: Drive personal space on the network. These files can be seen only by you, and they cannot be shared. To access these files follow the directions below.
h3. From an On Campus eGCC Windows Workstation:
# Select *"My Computer"* from your desktop or the *Start* menu.
# Under *Network Drives* you will see *\[H:\]* This is where your H Drive files are located. Only you have access to these files; they are not shared.
h3. From Off Campus or an Administrative Workstation:
h4. _Windows XP_
# Double-click on "My Network Places" which should be located on your desktop.
# Under the Heading "Network Tasks" on the left side of the "My Network Places" window, select "Add a network place". When the "Add Network Place Wizard" launches, click _next._
# Select "Choose another network location" and click _next._
# You should now be prompted to enter the "Internet or network address:" of the new network place.
#* The first part of the address is: [https://files.gccaz.edu/home/]
#* The last 3 directories will be related to your Palette (eGCC) username. The first will be the *first letter of the username*, the second will be the *second letter of the username*, and the third will be the *complete username*.
#* For example, if Patrick's username is *plovings*, he would add *"/p/l/plovings"* after *"home"* to get [https://files.gccaz.edu/home/p/l/plovings]. This complete URL would be what you would enter in the *"Internet or Network address:"* box.
#* In your case, please change the *"/p/l/plovings"* to reflect your own username.
#* Click _next._
# You may be prompted to login. Enter your eGCC username and password and click _ok_.

h4. _Macintosh_
# From the *Finder*, select *"Connect to Server"* from the *Go* menu.

#* The last 3 directories will be related to your Palette (eGCC) username. The first will be the *first letter of the username*, the second will be the *second letter of the username*, and the third will be the *complete username*.
#* For example, if Patrick's username is plovings, he would add *"/p/l/plovings"*.
#* On the screen you should see *"Connect to Server."* In this window, please enter the following server address in the text box:
[https://files.gccaz.edu/home/p/l/plovings] \- Remember to change the *"/p/l/plovings"* to reflect your own username. Then, select *"Connect."*
# In the resulting box titled *"**[WebDAV]* *File System Authorization,"* please enter your eGCC (Palette) username and password then select *"Ok."*
# A window will be opened, in which you will see the files in your home directory.

h2. Where is Gecko?
{color:#cc3333}{*}If you had any web pages published at{*}{color} {color:#cc3333}*[http://gecko.gc.maricopa.edu/~yourname]*{color} {color:#cc3333}{*}those pages are no longer active, but can be reactivated.*{color}
All of the files you had stored on the Gecko server have been transferred to your new \[H:\] Drive space. If you have files you would like to appear on the new web server, you will need to relocate them from *H:\old_files\public.www* to *H:\public.www* folder in order for them to show up on the new server. See *Web Space* (below).
h2. Old Gecko Shared Space
h3. S:\courses folder is not operational
Users will soon be directed to a page with URL to these directions, right now you will see a 404 error. When faculty login in the new environment, they will see two directories a new *S:\Courses* directory and their old files will be on *S:\{*}*[OldGeckoShared]**\Courses*
h3. If you had files on the old Gecko Shared space, you will need to copy the files to the new Courses folder.
When you login to a new eGCC (Palette) workstation the S: drive will be mapped, you will see courses and top level folders that you have access to.
h2. Web Space

... h4. *To View:*
Point your browser to the following URL, replacing "ajohnson" with your own eGCC (Palette) username. For example, if Adam P. Johnson's username is *"apjohnso"*, then the address to his web space would be:
