Issue

On the Seattle University network or over VPN, users may need to map a network drive to a network share.

Resolution

Open up the My Computer icon and then click on Tools > Map a Network Drive

Next select the drive letter you wish to map (eg. T: for your team share or P: for your personal drive). Enter the network path. For example, P: drives would be \\oitfs1\fac-staff\yourlogin . Click on Reconnect at logon if you want it to connect automatically when you log on. Then click Finish and your drive should be mapped.

Common Paths

For "T drives" the path would be:

\\oitfs2\TEAM\[Division Name]\[Department Name]\[Folder Name]
For Example: \\oitfs2\TEAM\Administration\Information_Technology\SHARED

For personal "P drives" the path would be:

\\oitfs1\fac-staff\[username]
For Example: \\oitfs1\fac-staff\smithj 

For student personal web sites the path would be:

\\oitfs1\students\[username]\web
For Example: \\oitfs1\students\smithj\web

If you need assistance connecting to other network shares, contact the Help Desk for assistance in determining the path.

It may ask you to connect to the drive with your name and password. In this case, enter in your full email address (including @seattleu.edu)
