Priya Raman in Accounting phoned the service desk. After changing her Windows password this morning she can no longer open the shared Accounting drive, and she is repeatedly prompted to sign in. She can still work from local copies for now, and no one else has reported the problem. Triage and resolve the ticket. Priority rubric: P1 = many users affected or a critical system down with no workaround; P2 = one user fully blocked with no workaround, or a small group; P3 = one user with a workaround and routine business impact. Steps you took, in order: confirm she can sign in to the laptop; check the account is not locked out; re-enter the stored credentials and re-map the drive. Record the resolution, decide whether first-line resolved it within scope (so whether it needs escalation), confirm the fix with the user, and close the ticket. She confirmed by phone that the shared drive opens. The free-text notes (description, progress note, and resolution notes) are not scored.

What you should see
The ticket is categorised as shared-drive access, prioritised P3, documented with the two reported symptoms and three ordered steps, resolved with updated stored credentials and no escalation, confirmed by phone, and closed as resolved.
