Map a Network Drive Using Your Doc Account for Administrative Purposes
Simplify access to a confidential data share or audit log share by mapping a network drive using your doc account.
This article applies to: Shared File Services
Shares which are configured for Level-1/Confidential data (and their associated auditlog shares) are only initially accessible to the doc accounts contained within the CornellAD-group used for administration of the share. These areas are not accessible from your personal NetID account.
Use a Windows computer to configure auditing and create file system ACL’s. SFS cannot provide support for other Operating Systems.
Example:
- Requested Share:
\\files.cornell.edu\CIT\Employee-Data - Audit Log Share:
\\files.cornell.edu\CIT\Employee-Data-auditlog
Map a Network Drive to the two shares (using your doc account’s credentials) to simplify access.
- Log in with your personal NetID account on a computer which is on the dedicated network used when the Level-1/Confidential share was ordered.
- For both your Requested Share and the Audit Log Share you can Map a Network Drive using your doc account.
- Start Windows Explorer.
- Right-click or Cmd-click on Computer Name.
- Select Map Network Drive.
- Paste the appropriate DFS path in under Folder.
- Select the checkbox for Connect Using Different Credentials.
- Select Finish.
- Enter your doc account username and password.
- Select OK.
