Connecting to Shared Directories on the \\MINSKY.MED.UNC.EDU server from
office/lab/equipment/home desktop Windows computers
For detailed example notes:
Connecting to
shares (e.g. connection to \\minsky.med.unc.edu\slaney,
\\minsky.med.unc.edu\cf-center, \\minsky.med.unc.edu\alcohol-studies,
\\ad.unc.edu\med.bcas, \\ad.unc.edu\med\cf, \\som-fs.med.unc.edu\cf, \\minsky.med.unc.edu\vs120,
\\minsky.med.unc.edu\vs200
Note: From off campus first connect to campus by running
UNC VPN.
UNC VPN (Cisco AnyConnect) requires an Onyen
username and password along with a second password provided by the
DUO phone app
Note: Paths greater than 247 characters and filenames+paths greater than 260
characters are not supported, especially by Explorer/Computer/ImageJ.
This is a limitation imposed by Windows and the third party software.
Quick notes:
-
"VS120" or "VS200":
- To map a drive letter to e.g.
\\minsky.med.unc.edu\vs120
or a different drive letter to e.g.
\\minsky.med.unc.edu\vs200 (MHmicroscopy domain share)
- Open a "Computer" window
- Select "This PC"
- Click "Map Network Drive"
- In "Map Network Drive" window
- Choose an available "Drive" letter
- Set folder to \\minsky.med.unc.edu\vs120 or \\minsky.med.unc.edu\vs200
- Check "Reconnect at sign-on"
- Check
"Connect using different credentials"
- In "Windows Security"
- Enter your MHmicroscopy account name (precede with mhmicroscopy\accountname) "Domain"
must display "MHMICROSCOPY"
- Enter your password
- Check remember credentials
- You should have a new drive letter in "my computer"
- For a 2nd drive letter:
- As above but
Uncheck
"Connect using different credentials"
- (This odd required action is due to a
Windows security consideration)
-
"S:" CF server "Shared"

or \\som-fs.med.unc.edu\cf)
- Open a "Computer"
window
- Select "This PC"
- Click "Map Network Drive"
- In "Map Network
Drive" window
- Choose an available "Drive" letter
- Set folder to \\som-fs.med.unc.edu\cf or \\ad.unc.edu\med\cf

- Groups (often mapped as J:)
- Shared (often mapped as S:)
- Users (often mapped as H:)
-
"Slaney":
- To map a drive letter to \\minsky.med.unc.edu\slaney (MHmicroscopy domain share)
- Open a "Computer" window
- Select "This PC"
- Click "Map Network Drive"
- In "Map Network Drive" window
- Choose an available "Drive" letter
- Set
folder to \\minsky.med.unc.edu\slaney

- In "Windows Security"
- Enter your MHmicroscopy account name (precede with mhmicroscopy\accountname) "Domain"
must display "MHMICROSCOPY"
- Enter your password

- You should have a new drive letter in "my computer".
Common problems:
"mhmicroscopy\" not added before your-user-name
"ad\" not added before your Onyen name
Onyen (AD domain) password has been changed. This makes the cached password associated with
the drive letter out of date
MHmicroscopy domain ("slaney" or "minsky") password has
changed making cached password associated with the drive letter out of date
Failure to use
\ (a forward slash, /, cannot be used instead of a backslash
\ )
Common Fixes:
Right click on drive letter and choose disconnect,
