  • I want to map drives after my computer was re-imaged

  • I am having problems accessing my H: drive

Resolution

  1. Ensure that your computer is connected to the wired network on campus
  2. Try restarting your computer. Your drives should be automatically mapped when you log in to your computer after the restart
  3. If the restart fails to map your drives, you can try using the Map Drive Utility
