Windows Virtual Desktop - Mapping Network Drives


Issue

How do I map network drives?

Resolution

You do not need to do anything to map your standard Michigan Medicine network drives (H, S, T, and R). They will be mapped automatically after you log in to Windows Virtual Desktop.

If you have other drives that you want to map (such as Maize storage) follow Microsoft's directions (external link). If the drives require a different username and password, do not check the box to remember the credentials.  When you log into a WVD session, those mapped drives should appear in File Explorer under "This PC." They will have a red-X on them.  Double-click them and enter the appropriate username and password to reconnect them.

Note: Local storage is unavailable in WVD as a security measure.
