Classic-CoreImage - Connect to Shared Drives with the NetLogonApp (Blue N) Utility


Introduction

The NetLogonApp utility, also known as the "Blue N," facilitates the mapping of the H, S, T, and R network drives if they are not already present in File Explorer.

Make sure you are connected to our secure Ethernet or MFleet wireless network while onsite in Michigan Medicine supported buildings. If you are working remotely make sure to connect to the UMHS SSL VPN.

The Blue N application only applies to Classic-CoreImage devices.  Intune-managed CoreImage devices rely on Intune policies to map the standard set of network drives.
