Q: What is the name of the email server for Biology?
A: The email server’s name is Email.bio.unc.edu for Biology email.
Please see Help.unc.edu article
id#96 to get help setting up
Outlook as the email client.
Please note that the Email server is a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server,
so you may access your emails by setting up your email program as an
exchange client on campus or though the
UNC VPN client from outside
of campus.
For security reasons, the departmental (Email) exchange server does not
support IMAP and POP.

 
Q: How do I setup Biology Exchange client access with Microsoft
Outlook?
A:
    • Either:

    • If you have an icon for Outlook on your start bar

      • Click on Start
      • Right-click on the e-mail (Microsoft Outlook) icon
      • Select Properties
    • If you do not have the above mentioned icon

 

      • Go to Control Panel
      • Go to User Accounts
      • Go to Mail
    • Click on Show Profile

 

 

  • Click on Add

  • Type your name in (or whatever you would like to call
    this profile; you might want to say Campus if you are using a laptop and
    might access email from outside of campus too; Exchange connection will only
    work on campus or through a
    VPN connection)

  • Select Add a new e-mail account and Next

  • Select Microsoft Exchange Server and click
    Next

  • Type in email.bio.unc.edu for the field that
    says Microsoft Exchange Server

  • You may uncheck the check-box for Use Cached
    Exchange Mode     if you do not want your email to be cached/saved on your
    local computer

    up with a connection to the new Exchange server

 

 

 
Q: How do I setup Biology Exchange client access with Entourage
2004 on Macs?
A: We are sorry, but the entry is under construction.

 
Q: Why are Biology Email “Out of Office” Replies limited to campus addresses?
A: You can only setup Out of Office reply for emails arriving from campus email (including biology) addresses.
Setting up automatic reply to all incoming emails (from outside of campus) is dangerous, because all senders,
spammers and virus attackers will be able verify that your email address is valid, and they will keep sending
more messages. Also, Out of Office reply can be used to relay messages by entering false sender addresses
into the original message.

 
Q: How do I recognize a fake/phishing email?
A: Many times spam/fake phishing emails will have pictures and links in
them that if you click will take you to various web sites.  As rule
of thumb, do not open any emails you are not 100% sure about without
contacting and asking BioHelp about
it.  If you do open up and seems to be a legitimate email, please
make sure that the links are in fact taking you to the site you are
expecting.  In Microsoft Outlook and most other graphical email
clients, if you move your mouse over the link (not clicking it), a
little pop-up window will show the URL (the link would take you) if it
is not exactly the same as you can read in the email.  If you see a
different URL popping up than the one is written in the email you should
be very suspicious about the legitimacy of the email and should contact
us.

 
Q: Why should a faculty member decide to use Biology Exchange
Email rather than campus email?
A: At this time, only faculty and staff member in the Biology Department
can have Biology Exchange email accounts instead of the campus email.
Some of the reasons why one might change to Biology Exchange email:

  • ITS limits the mailbox size for their email accounts, Biology
    departmental email mailboxes are not limited
  • Exchange accounts have built-in a calendar option, which allows
    users to share calendaring information among all Exchange users
    around campus
  • Biology email WebMail client is an online version of the Microsoft Outlook
    client (OWA – Outlook Web Access) providing almost the same platform
    anywhere around the world with internet access from an internet
    browser (like Internet Explorer).

 
Q: Why can I not send emails to Biology Listservs?
A: Due to high volumes of spam being sent to our
Biology Email Distribution Lists/Listservs
from off-campus sources (addresses), we restricted them to only allow
messages to be received from specific email addresses.  Presently,
we allow faculty members to send to any of our listservs, and all other
biology members are allowed to send to the listservs they are on.Our email address lists receive email addresses for the listservs from two
sources: from our internal Biology Exchange email accounts and from the
Campus Directory.
It is important, because biology members will only be able to send
messages to the listservs from the email addresses they are registered
under both on our listservs and on the
Campus Directory

If you are on a specific
Biology Email Distribution Lists/Listservs, but you are not able to
send to it, please make sure that you have the appropriate email address
(or alias) set for you on the
Campus Directory.
You may change the email address to match the one you are sending
messages form at the

Campus Directory Update page.

 
Q:: How do I access the BioArk file server from outside of campus
(FTP & VPN)?
A: You may access the files on BioArk server through the
Biology FTP server (host name for FTP
clients): ftp.bio.unc.edu by using your biology login in the
following format: Biology\biologyusername.
You may also install the Cisco VPN client on your computer and access
BioArk through your Network Places by adding a new network place in the
following format: \\BioArk\yourlabname or

\\BioArk\Faculty\lastname.

 
 
Q: How do I access my lab/faculty folder on BioArk?
A: You can either browse to the BioArk server through My Network
Places/Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/Biology/BioArk/ and
select the appropriate share (\labname or \facultyname),
or you can add a new Network Place by clicking on Add a network place
in My Network Places.  In the Add Network Place
wizard click Next, select Choose another network location
and as the address enter either:
\\BioArk\labname\ or \\BioArk\facultyname\.

If you are using a MAC with OS X of higher on it, you may
go to GO, Connect to Server & use path: smb://BioArk.bio.unc.edu/labname/
or smb://BioArk.bio.unc.edu/facultyname/. You may
also save this address under your favorite servers, so you won’t have to
enter it again later.

 

 
Q: How does FacultyShare allow me to share data and documents among
other faculty members?
A: FacultyShare is a BioArk network share, which allows all biology
faculty members to share files and data among each other.  All
biology faculty members have read and write access to the folder.
The folder is accessible at the following location:
\\BioArk\FacultyShare.  Please see this article about how to
access this folder.

 
Q: How does ResearchShare allow me to transfer data between
computers in different labs (using research equipment in labs other than
your own)?
A: ResearchShare is a BioArk network share, which allows all biology
faculty and lab members to share files and data among each other and to
transfer their research data produced with a different lab’s equipment.  All
biology faculty and lab accounts have read and write access to the folder.
The folder is accessible at the following location:
\\BioArk\ResearchShare.  Please see this article about how to
access this folder.

 
Q: Is there a size limit for storage space on the departmental
file and web servers?
A: On the new file server BIOARK, each faculty member has a storage space
limit assigned and can decide how much of their space they want to
allocate to their lab/student use.

 
Q: How do I recover a lost or deleted file?
A: We can only help recovering files that were saved to our servers (mainly
to BioArk) and that resided on the server for at least one day.
Please send us the date the file was
deleted/lost and its name and location (folder path on the server), and
we will try to restore it for you if it is possible.

 
Q: Is there file server storage available for Graduate Students & Post
Docs?
A: The Biology Department offers 7GB file storage allocation for its graduate students and post docs for personal research data and files.
This storage is allocated on the departmental file server: BioArk. The storage allocation is individual-based and separate from all other
lab or resource storage spaces. This storage is only accessible by the individual graduate student/post doc, contrary to shared lab spaces
that are accessible by all lab members. The individual is still able to access her/his files on the lab shares, but other lab members cannot
access the personal space.

To request the personal storage, please contact BioHelp at BioHelp@bio.unc.edu with the following information:

  • Onyen username
  • Temporary password (which you’ll be able to change during the first login)
  • Your lab (faculty member’s name you are working with)
  • Your location (office or lab room number and building)
  • Whether you are primarily going to be using a personal or shared lab computer

Accessing your personal storage requires the following steps:

  1. The user must have a Biology user account, which corresponds to your Onyen username. It is not required to have the same password as your
    Onyen account, but it is recommended. This password also has to be changed every 90 days.
  2. The shared (lab) or personal (laptop/desktop) computer has to be part of the Biology Domain to allow the user to login with her/his biology
    account. Although, there are alternative ways to access the storage (for computers not part of the domain and MACs), joining the domain is the
    preferred and most efficient way.
  3. The user has to be on the campus network and logging on with the personal (not lab) biology account to access the storage. Shortcuts and
    Network Places mappings are automatically created for the users that point to the personal and lab shared spaces on BioArk.
  4. The allowed amount of space is 7GB per user. User will not be able to save more files passed the 7GB storage usage.

 

 
Q: What options do I have to backup my files from my computer?
A: You have different options depending on what operating system you are running:

  • Windows OSs:
    1. You may simply copy your files (or automate the
      copying of your files) to your BioArk stroage allocation, which is backed up every night.
    2. If it is a portable computer, you may contact us to help you setting up Synchronization between your
      My Documents folder & a folder on your BioArk stroage allocation. This will allow you to have a copy at both location
      (the BioArk vopy being backed up by us additionally every night), so, you may use your files
      even when away from campus (withouth VPN). The changes made at either location will be transferred when the computer is back on campus.
    3. You may also contact us to help you setting up the internal Backup utility to create a backup file on your
      BioArk stroage allocation to hold all the backup data. The most important difference between this option and previous
      ones is that this option creates one huge file with allyour data, and individual files are not accessible (neither locally or off-campus). They
      can only be restored with the Backup utility (individual files may be restored also).
    4. UNC also has a contract with
      Iron Mountain to backup personal and departmental computers to an off campus storage.
      It is a charge service, so, you will have to pay for
      this service depending on how much data you want backed
      up.  It is also a more convenient way of backing up
      and restoring files when you spend a lot of time off
      campus.
  • MAC OS:
    1. You may simply copy your files (or automate the copying of your files) to your BioArk stroage allocation, which is backed up every night.
    2. You may also contact us to help you setting up the internal backup utility (Time Machine) to create a backup
      of your files on your
      BioArk stroage allocation.
    3. UNC also has a contract with
      Iron Mountain to backup personal and departmental computers to an off campus storage.
      It is a charge service, so, you will have to pay for
      this service depending on how much data you want backed
      up.  It is also a more convenient way of backing up
      and restoring files when you spend a lot of time off
      campus.

 

 
Q: What should I do if my USB device isn’t working properly on my
CCI IBM computer or any other computer?

Q: I have Windows XP Home Edition and am unable to access Biology
resources. Why should I upgrade to Windows XP Professional?
A: Windows XP Home Edition, like its name suggests it, was created for home
use and not for enterprise network environment we have here on campus.
The Biology Department has its own
Microsoft Windows Active Directory


Domain and is part of the campus-wide
UNC Active Directory
Parent Domain.  For us to be able to add your computer to this
domain, it has to have Windows XP Professional Edition, because only
this version has this capability.

has support for these
bioinformatics applications.

 
Q: Can I run my UNIX application on any of the departmental servers?
(BioLinux)
A: Yes. You may use the departmental Linux server
BioLinux to run your
UNIX applications.

 
Q: Why and how should I upgrade my Antivirus Client?
A: The most important reasons to have the most recent Antivirus Client
installed on computers are:

  • The newer the Antivirus Program the more prone to bugs and
    vulnerabilities most of the time
  • The automatic update for virus definitions might not work if the client is out of date or its
    licensing expired

The most up-to-date Norton Antivirus Enterprise Edition Client is
version 10. It can be installed form the

Biology
software setup page.  Normally, you do not need to
uninstall the previous version first, but if you have any trouble
installing/running the newer version, you may try to uninstall the
earlier version and then start a clean install of the newer version.
You may also contact
BioHelp
for help installing it.

 
Q: How do I get and setup AdmissionPros (for MACs with
Virtual PC)?
A: AdmissionPros is the Graduate School’s new application to manage admissions electronically.
It requires a special username and password, which is supplied by the
Graduate School.  Information about how to gain access and how to
install the software can be found on the
AdmissionPros web site

.  This software was written for Windows
Operating Systems, so Macintosh users will have to install Virtual PC on
their computers to run this application.
Please let us (BioHelp) know if you
need AdmissionPros running on your MAC and we will be happy to load it
for you.Installing Virtual PC:

  • Before you decide to install Virtual PC on your MAC to run AdmissionPros, please make sure that you have at least a
    G4 or G5 Macintosh computer, because otherwise your computer will
    be extremely slow.
  • Virtual PC for MAC version 7.0 is the second disc of the Microsoft Office for MAC package
  • After installing Virtual PC form the disc, the Virtual PC 7.0.2
    update needs to be downloaded and installed from

    here    .
  • After the upgrade of Virtual PC, a new virtual operating system needs to be installed under Virtual PC;
    we recommend Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2.  It is just like installing Windows on a
    standard computer, which is a relative elaborate process,
    so we encourage everybody to
    contact BioHelp
    to setup a time, so we can do the installation.Tricks and tips for AdmissionPros (on MACs with Virtual PC):

    • Office for Windows might need to be installed in Virtual PC to
      allow the opening of some of the documents. You may install it form
      the BioHelp Software
      Install       site. Please note that the Virtual PC instant has to be
      part of the Biology Domain, and you have
      to be logged on with your biology account for this site to work!)
    • You may also need to install Adobe Reader to open PDF files (BioHelp
      Software Install      ).
    • It is necessary to set the screen resolution higher within
      Windows (Virtual PC) in order to be able to navigate some of the
      AdmissionsPros panels.
    • The Apple button needs to be pressed to retrieve the Mac cursor
      (otherwise, the cursor gets trapped within the Virtual PC panel).

     
Q: Is Office 2007 backward compatible with Office 2003?
A: Office 2007 is not backward compatible with earlier versions of
Microsoft Office in a traditional way, but it is fairly easy to make
Office 2003 able to read Office 2007 files. Microsoft has a
compatibility plug-in available to solve this problem, called:
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007
File Formats

.  You may install it from the
Microsoft Download site or from the

BioHelp server locally.  After
installing it, Office 2003 will be able to open and edit Office 2007
files.  Another, even simpler option, is to use the Save As option to save files in Office 2003 file format from Office 2007.

 
Q: Can I share documents made in Office 2007 with users of earlier
versions of Office??
A: By default,
Office 2007 is not backward compatible with earlier versions of
Microsoft Office, and Office 2003 will not be able to open documents
saved in Office 2007 file formats.  It is possible, and fairly easy
to use the Save As option to save files in Office 2003 file
format from Office 2007.  Also, Microsoft has a compatibility
plug-in available to allow Office 2003 to open Office 2007 files,
called:
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007
File Formats

.  You may install it from the
Microsoft Download site or from the

BioHelp server locally.  After installing it, Office 2003 will
be able to open and edit Office 2007 files.
