H: Drive

The H: drive is used for groups of individuals that wish to share files with other individuals. A hierarchy has been created for various divisions and committees to share files as well as groups of people to setup project folders. Folders on the H: drive are restricted to certain individuals. If you would like a new folder created on the H: drive or require access to an existing folder, please make contact with Saunders Technical Support and we will work with the owner of the folder to fulfill your request.

The H: drive is located at \\main.ad.rit.edu\Shares\SCB\SCB_Shared

P: Drive

A script will run with two sets of commands.  First, it will try to remove the old H: and P: drive connections if they exist.  If not, you will see errors that the network connection could not be found.  You can ignore these errors.

You may be asked if you are sure you want to disconnect the resource.  You can see either Y or N to this question because in the next step it will try to reconnect both H: and P:

Once done disconnecting, the script will then try to map the drives.  If this part is unsuccessful and you are off campus, connect to VPN and try again.  If it still doesn't work, contact Saunders Technical Support for assistance.
