Mapping the H: Drive (all users)
Mapping the Y: Drive (all users)
Mapping the I: Drive (faculty & staff)
Mapping the J: Drive (select faculty & staff)
These instructions are for Windows XP users and are a TEMPORARY FIX primarily for faculty/staff needing to manually map their H: , I:, J:, and Y: network drives because they are not yet in Active Directory (AD). Please note this is not intended to be a permanent solution to network drive mapping. These instructions may also be useful for students living off campus or who do not participate in the WIRED program.
A permanent solution to these instructions is for you to be included in Active Directory. You should be added to and log in to Active Directory for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:
Automatic mapping of your required network drives
Automatic updates of your local clients for software installation, keyserver licensing, and program access paths.
If you do not get set up properly for AD, these and other network tasks may become cumbersome, and supporting you will become unnecessarily complicated.
NOTE: For STUDENTS ONLY who are participating in WIRED, a custom login has been written to map the H: and Y: drives and maintain the necessary components to make Lehigh's Install Software pages work correctly. Please visit the WIRED Home Page for more information. Also note that students do not get access to I: and J: drives unless authorized by a specific department.
How Do I know if I'm in Active Directory
1. Determine if your *computer* is in the Active Directory (AD):
Press "Windows" and "Break" keys simultaneously to bring up the properties of "My Computer". Alternatively, you may right click on "My Computer" and choose Properties. Click the Computer Name tab. The full computer name should look like fsxxxxxxxxxxxx.ad.lehigh.edu (where x is your network card's ethernet address in Hex). The domain should be: ad.lehigh.edu
2. Determine if you are *logging in* to Active Directory (AD):
If you still have the Novell client installed, on your login screen, click the Advanced tab and then the Windows tab. If the "From:" field is AD, you are setup to login to AD. If the "From:" field is FSxxxxxxxxxxxx, then you are logging into your local PC and will not get the H: mapping.
If you do not have the Novell client installed, you should see a username and password box followed by a "log on to" box (you may have to click the options button to see the last box). The "log on to" box should have "AD" in it to login to AD.
3. Try logging in from a public site computer to verify that the problem is with the computer that you are at and not with your username/password.
COMMAND LINE METHOD
Open a Command Window ( Start | Run | "CMD" )

net use h: \\{server}.cc.lehigh.edu\{group}\{ username} /user:AD\{username} /persistent:yes
Example:
| If your username is abc0, so {server} is Home10 and {group} is A-H |
| so the command would be ... |
net use h: \\Home10.cc.lehigh.edu\A-H\abc0 /user:AD\abc0 /persistent:yes |
NOTE: You will be prompted for your password when making the connection.
When you have mapped your H: drive, you can close the CMD window by typing exit at the command prompt, or continue with mapping your Y: drive.

5) If prompted for a password, enter AD\{userid} and your password.
COMMAND LINE METHOD
In the command window, type in the following command (spacing is important)
net use y: \\multi03.cc.lehigh.edu\apps /user:AD\{username} /persistent:yes
