The Enhancing Online Collaboration project has successfully reached the end of the content migration stage. New SharePoint Online Hubs and Workspaces were created and rolled out in 2020 for use across the different areas of the University.
It is now essential for the SharePoint2010 sites to be decommissioned and this will take place on Monday 8th February from 9:00am GMT.
After this date, it will no longer be possible to access any content on SharePoint2010.

Upgrade of S: Drive – 28th Feb 17:00 GMT
Information Services will be migrating the S: drive to a new location in order to improve the service. This change will utilise new IT infrastructure that will offer a faster, robust and more secure platform.
Access to the S: drive should be considered “at risk” from Friday 28th February 17:00 – Monday 2nd March 9:00 GMT.
During the switch over all data on the S: drive will be secure.
For those users with managed desktops/laptops the new path to the S: drive will automatically be updated, however Recent Documents and Shortcuts to the old S: drive locations will no longer work and will need to be recreated.
For those on unmanaged machines you will need to remap the S: drive from the current location \\netapp04b\HWShare to \\HWSHARE\hwshare
