Setting up drive mappings for a location

A drive mapping is the assignment of a drive letter on a computer to access a specific shared area on a server. All the computers in a location can have the same drive mappings to ensure that all users who log on at those computers can use the same drive letter to access the same shared areas.

From the left-hand pane, right-click the location and from the menu, choose Properties.
Choose the Drive Mappings tab.
Click the Add button.
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 be displayed in the list.)
From the drop-down lists, select the server and share. You can also type these.
Click OK. The new drive mapping is displayed in the list.
Click OK.

Notes

After you have made any changes to the drive mappings in a location, the computers in that location must be restarted for the new settings to take effect.
For information on creating shares, refer to your Windows or Windows Server documentation.
Location properties are also available for a selected location by choosing in the toolbar, or from the File menu choose Properties.
