| - | ====== Accessing non Olin domain systems from an Olin domain computer====== | ||
| - | Important Notes: | ||
| - | PLEASE DO NOT remove your computer from the OLIN.EDU domain as it will result in your | ||
| - | cached profile becoming inaccessible. This will happen if you change the domain name or | ||
| - | change the system to be in a workgroup. | ||
| - | Adding your computer back to the OLIN.EDU domain can only be performed by IT staff while | ||
| - | the system is on campus. | ||
| - | You can access resources on different workgroups or domains without changing your | ||
| - | computer's domain membership. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Requirements: | ||
| - | * The name of the system/computer you’re attempting to connect to. | ||
| - | * A local username and password on the system you're attempting to connect to | ||
| - | or | ||
| - | * A domain username and password for the domain the system is a member of | ||
| - | * Open a windows explorer window | ||
| - | There are several ways to do this, particularly if you wish to keep a (semi)permanent connection to the | ||
| - | system, however we will demonstrate the simplest method here. | ||
| - | * In the address line, simply enter \\ followed by the system name and hit enter | ||
| - | * ex; ''\\systemname''. | ||
| - | * You should be prompted to enter a username and password | ||
| - | * Enter the username in this format | ||
| - | * ''--systemname\username'' | ||
| - | or | ||
| - | for a local system account | ||
| - | * ''--domainname\username'' | ||
| - | * Enter the corresponding password | ||
| - | for a different domain user account | ||
| - | * If authenticated successfully, you should see available system resources | ||
