Most of the labs have storage available on servers owned by UNC. For access to these servers, you will have to get the exact server address from your lab manager, but you can follow the instructions here for how to connect your computer to a server.
Windows
- Open the Map Network Drive using the instructions for your version of Windows:
- Windows 7 and 8: In the Start menu, select Computer, then Map Network Drive.
- Windows 10: Open File Explorer, then click on This PC. Use Ctrl-F1 to expand the ribbon at the top of the window. Click the Map Network Drive icon.
- In the Map Network Drive window, set Drive to J: and enter \\ad.unc.edu\med\dom\Groups in the Folder field, as shown in the picture below. Click Finish.
- If prompted for a username and password, enter your Onyen in the following format, then enter your password:
Username: AD\youronyen - Repeat steps 1-3 to map the Shared directory, using the following information in step 2:
- Drive: S:
- Folder: \\ad.unc.edu\med\dom\Shared
- Repeat steps 1-3 to map your home directory using the following information, substituting your Onyen for the last part of the folder name:
- Drive: H:
- Folder: \\ad.unc.edu\med\dom\Users\youronyen
The H: drive mentioned above contains your home directory. It is the same name as your Onyen username. Your folder within this network location is accessible only to you; no one else can access the data placed in this folder. Data that you want to store on the server (but do not wish to share with anyone) can be saved under the Users location.
The J: drive contains your group shared data. Here you should see a folder with the name of your group, division, or lab. All members of your group or lab have the ability to read, write and delete files in this folder. This allows you to collaborate and share data with others.
Finally, the “Shared” location is a share that is accessible to all members of the division. Anything placed in this “Shared” location can be viewed and edited by the entire division.
Macintosh
To create the shortcut to the departmental file server, go to your desktop/Finder. On the top menu click Go, then select Connect to Server. A new window appears. Enter the location shown below and then click the “+” button.
Clicking the “+” button saves the location as a favorite. Repeat the process for the following server locations:
cifs://ad.unc.edu/med/dom/Users/youronyen
cifs://ad.unc.edu/med/dom/Shared
Click Connect to connect to the file share.
You may be prompted for a username and password. Use the following format when entering your username:
Username: AD\youronyen
With the successful username/password combination, you will connect to the file share.
Other Information
If you have problems with the mapping process, please email dom-is@med.unc.edu for assistance. If you need permissions updated, home directories or group folders created, you can submit such requests to this email address as well.
Last but not least, when an employee leaves, please notify DOMIS at the above email address so access can be removed in a timely and accurate fashion.
