-====== Accessing non Olin domain systems from an Olin domain computer====== 
  
-:!: **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 
-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.  
-    - Open a windows explorer window 
-    - In the address line, simply enter followed by the system name and hit enter ex; ''​\\systemname''​.

-    - Enter the username in this format 
-      * ''​--systemname\username''​ for a local system account 
-      * or, ''​--domainname\username''​ for a different domain user account
