Adding a drive mapping to a computer

Adding a drive mapping ensures that all users who log on to that computer can use the same drive letter to access the same area.

To add a drive mapping to a computer

  1. From the left-hand pane, expand Picture of the Computers icon Computers and choose All Computers.

  2. From the right-hand pane, right-click the computer and from the menu, choose Properties.

  3. Choose the Drive Mappings tab.

  4. Click the Add button.

  5. From the drop-down list, select the drive letter that you want to map. (Drive letters that have already been used for that computer will not appear in the list).

  6. From the drop-down lists, select the server and share.

  7. Click OK. The new drive mapping appears in the list.

  8. Click OK.

Notes

  • You can use the same process to manage multiple computers. Use the All Computers list to select all of the computers that you wish to manage. (You can filter the list to easily find the required computers.) Any changes you make will apply to all of the selected computers.

  • Once you have made any changes to a computer's properties, the computer must be restarted for the new setting to take effect.

  • Refer to your Windows or Windows Server documentation for information on creating shares.

  • Computer properties are also available by selecting the computer and choosing Picture of the Properties button in the toolbar, or from the File menu choosing Properties.
