Accessing the CDes Class Folders Requirements In order to use a lab computer and/or to access CDes network storage space, you must have a UMNAD account. This service can be enabled by going to the DirTools web site, logging in, and clicking on Active Directory Account Options and following the instructions. From the CDes labs CDes IT recommends students connect to the class folders from the CDes labs. In the Rapson labs, all you need to do is logon to the computer. You should see an S: drive under My Computer or Windows Explorer. In the McNeal PC labs there is an additional step. Logon to the computer using your x500 and password. Open My Computer, double click the D: drive, and double click “map_s.bat”. A black window will pop up and quickly disappear. You will now have the S: drive under My Computer. In the McNeal Mac labs, you will need to use an account setup by CDes IT. Instructors, please email cdeshelp@umn.edu to request this account. Once you have the account information, click on the Go menu and choose Connect to Server. In the Server Address field type “smb://cdes‐
classes.ad.umn.edu/cdes‐classes$” (without the quotes). When prompted, enter your class’ username and password. The class folder(s) will appear as a network drive in any finder window. From a non­University Windows PC Please note that CDes IT does not support connecting to the class folders from non‐University computers. These instructions are offered as a service to the user. If you need assistance, please call 1‐
HELP (612‐301‐4357) or visit a 1‐Help walk‐in location. In order to access UMNAD storage you need to install the Windows x500 Kerberos Authentication Pack v3 on your computer.

For Windows XP users, click on the “Start” menu and then click on “Run”. Windows Vista users should click the Start Menu, go to All Programs, go to Accessories, and click Run. For all versions of Windows, a short‐cut is to hold down the Windows key and press “r”. 2. In the dialog box that pops up, type \\cdes‐classes.ad.umn.edu\cdes‐classes$ and press the “Enter” key G:\IT\WORK\Documentation\Class folders\Accessing Class Folder Storage v3.doc 3. You will be prompted for a login and password. For the username type in your Internet ID (X.500 name) followed by @UMN.EDU (case sensitive!). For example, anyid001@UMN.EDU is a valid format for the username. Substitute your Internet ID for anyid001. The password is the same one you use to login to e‐mail and other services at the U. 4. A new explorer window will come up after you authenticate and you will see the class folders. You will only be able to access folders for classes that you are enrolled in. 5. (optional) You can create a desktop shortcut to your class folder by right‐clicking on the class folder, choosing Send To, and choosing Desktop (create shortcut).

These instructions are intended primarily for faculty and staff; students do not have a personal share as described in these instructions.
