StoutFS: Mapping Network Drives
Mapping a network drive from StoutFS (Stout File Servers)
StoutFS network drives are automatically mapped with computer startup policies (M: O: and S:) when a user with Stout permission logs into a Stout owned windows computer. If drives are not mapping try updating computer startup policy.
- If you do not have permissions or want to know more about StoutFS network drives refer to "StoutFS Explained" in the "See Also" below.
Update Computers Startup Policies
On Campus Users: Log off or restart computer. If drives still do not map go to step 1. Note: A wired network connection is advised if you are experiencing issue.
Off Campus Users: Connect to VPN before step going to step 1
If drives do not show up:
- Press and hold the Windows key then press the "R" key
+ R - Once the run dialog box is displayed, type in "gpupdate.exe /force" and click Ok
- Accept any warnings that display and reboot if requested; if successful, the network drives will appear.
If they still do not appear contact help desk for further assistance.
