Deployment

In May of 2024 the End User Services has deployed a "Help Desk Toolkit" on all workstations. This will help user's navigate mapping network drives, printers and with common use items across the foundation.


You will see a folder on your desktop that looks like this

The contents inside should appear like so: 

This new Toolkit includes multiple tools to help make troubleshooting issues easier and interacting with the Help Desk a smoother process.


  Add a Network Folder

Here you will be able to map any network drive by Double-Clicking on the "Admin & qAdmin" or "Netapps & Bass" icons

All Netapps are linked to the same Shared Drives (netapp1, netapp2, netapp3) and all of the Admin & qAdmin are linked to the Same Drives.



You will then see a list of network drives available to be mapped


All you have to do is right-click and select "Map Network Drive"


You can now select a Drive letter to associate with that Network Share (Normally this is trivial and doesn't matter)

Reconnect at Sign-in

Be sure you select "Reconnect at Sign-In" in order for the Shared Drive to be available every time you login.




Add a Printer

Here you will see 3 options:

Add Printer by Name

Printer List A

Printer List B

If you know the exact name of your printer you can select "Add Printer by Name" which will open a Command Prompt to input the name of the printer

Follow the Instructions and hit the enter key on your keyboard

It will then give you a status message if the printer was added successfully or not


If you select "Printer List A" or "Printer List B" you will have to search each list for the name of your printer.

Naming Convention

Starting in 2024 all new printers moved or installed follow a specific naming convention. MFD or PR followed by the building short name FSO (Franklin Street Offices) followed by the ending of the T# 123456 (ex. PRFSO123456)


Common Shortcuts

This is a simple repository for commonly used shortcuts


IT Tools

This is used by our End User Services team for troubleshooting. We may ask you to run one of these files to assist in troubleshooting some of your issues


Other Tools


These tools will live under the folders. Currently we ask that you you use the "Restart Computer" prior to submitting a ticket as this will solve 90% of the problems you are experiencing.
