Accessing Drives from On Campus

Windows

When you login to your Windows workstation (on the William & Mary campus domain) it should automatically map your drives to the correct locations. If you find that you don't have a drive correctly mapped when you log in, you may have to remap it.  One way to do that is to right click on the drive letter, select disconnect, and then log out and log back in.  Otherwise you can manually map to the server with these instructions:

1.  Select Start Menu
2.  Right click on "This PC"
3. Select "More" and choose "Map Network Drive"
4.  Select a letter (G: is for group drives, H: for personal drives)
5.  In the popup box type \\files.campus.wm.edu\drive (replacing drive with the drive name).   Some common drives are:

  • G: Drive (group drive) - \\files.campus.wm.edu\home$ (replace "home$" with the name of the group drive)
    Example for Thomas Jefferson's G:Drive: \\files.campus.wm.edu\monticello$
  • H: Drive (personal drive) - \\files.campus.wm.edu\username (replace "username" with your W&M Username)
    Example for Thomas Jefferson's H:Drive: \\files.campus.wm.edu\tjefferson
6.  Click on different user name

7.  Beside User Name type campus\W&M Username (ex: campus\tjefferson)
8.  Enter your password

Macs

1.  In the Finder, select Connect To Server... from the "Go" menu
2.  In the Server Address field, enter smb://files.campus.wm.edu/drive (replacing drive with the drive name). Some common ones are:

    Example for Thomas Jefferson's G:Drive: smb://files.campus.wm.edu/monticello$
  •  H: Drive (personal drive) - smb://files.campus.wm.edu/username  (replace "username" with your W&M Username)
    Example for Thomas Jefferson's H:Drive: smb://files.campus.wm.edu/tjefferson
