How to do it |
| A. |
Select a Mapping Method |
Now that you have an AFS client installed you'll map the Q: drive directly into AFS file space via the AFS Client.
There are two methods for mapping the Q: drive via the AFS Client:
- Mapping for All Users
Mapping for all users is useful because you can set it up during the client installation, and the Q: drive will automatically be mapped in any/all user profiles.
On a Windows computer, a login account may not have sufficient privileges to modify the AFS Client Configuration to create a drive mapping for that profile; mapping for all users gets around this problem.
If a computer is used by multiple people (i.e., multiple login accounts), use this method to create a mapping that will automatically apply to all logins.
- Mapping for the Current User
Mapping for the current user is done within Windows Explorer and must be repeated for each login profile. Since Windows keeps a separate profile for each user, you need to have the user logged in when using this method.
