Mapping network drives on clients

mikidc — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 22:00:34 +0000

Ok, this is very basic, but I am new to networking. My understanding is that mapping network drives on clients in a particular domain is client dependent. In other words, if I map on my PC connection to drive X, and then later I log in on another PC in the same network, I would have to map the drive on that PC too if I want to access shared drive X.

One of my users told me that when she logs to other PCs with her log in credentials, that she is able to access the drives from those PCs. She pointed to me that her employee was mapped to share drives on his PC, but when he logged in on another PC, he could not access it (I had to map). “How come?” she asked. “When I log in on this PC, I am connected, but when he loggs, he is not..”

Please confirm or not, that access to share drives is client based and not user based (assuming of course that user was given access rights in the first based).

Thank you,

Mickey

Tool for mapping unknown Network/Data ports?

BrentSheets — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:01:57 +0000

Two recently acquired offices lack network diagrams and there is nothing to show which data ports are live or how anything matches to the patch panel. Besides manually visiting dozens and dozens of ports with a laptop — what are the options? Surely there is a tool for this scenario. Would someone post what they use in a case like this or offer a suggestion or at least point me in the right direction? Many thanks.
