Mapping a Network Drive

Instructions are for IU Kokomo Faculty and Staff.

Any time you are using a computer other than your own for example when you are in TechCTLA or in a training session you will need to map a network drive.

1. Log on to the ADS server.

2. On the desktop right click on the My Computer icon and select Map Network Drive. (Sometimes with Windows XP you may not see the My Computer icon, in this case select the Start button and look for My Computer on the Popup menu and right click on it.  The rest of the instructions will be the same.)

3. Change the drive letter to U: unless that one has been used already in which case select any other free letter.

4. In the folder box type in \\ko-cser-data.ads.iu.edu\users\UserName
   e.g. \\ko-cser-data.ads.iu.edu\users\jdoe (If you wish to map your network drive from home first connect to your VPN before attempting to map the drive. On campus you may shorten the drive name to ||ko-cser-data\users\username.)

5. Click Finish and wait a few seconds.

6. You will now be able to save your files to your Data folder.
