[Macinsloan] Mounting File Servers

[John Harthorne]

All,

I am now able to mount all 3 shares on the 2 Sloan File Servers.  
Previously, I had not been able to connect to the sloannt1 server due  
to a Mac/Windows compatibility issue. I put in a reconfiguration  
request to the IT folks, and it looks like they came through. I am  
not aware of anything that I cannot do at Sloan with my Mac now!

Here is the procedure to mount the shared folders:

 From within the Finder:
1) Select Go > Connect to Server ... (Command+K is the shortcut)
2) Enter Server Address in the format smb://SERVER/SHARE (see below  
for server and share names)
3) Click connect
4) Enter your username and password when prompted. Enter "sloanlab"  
as the workgroup (no quotes).
5) Check the "Remember this password in my keychain" box if you want  
your password remembered
6) Click OK

The shared folder should now appear as a disk within the Finder.

The three relevant shares should be entered as follows:

smb://sloannt1/courses
smb://sloanfiles/mba07
smb://sloanfiles/temp2

Time saving tip:
In the initial "Connect to Server" dialog, you can click the "plus"  
icon to the right of the location to add that server to your  
"favorite" locations. That way, you won't have to type each location  
out every time you connect. If you have opted to save your password  
in the keychain, all you need to do is double click the location to  
connect to it.

Let me know if you have troubles with these directions ... and  
remember to say thank you to the IT support personnel. This would not  
be possible without their help.

- John
