Summary
The GlobalProtect VPN allows the Cedar Crest community to access our local network for a variety of different reasons. One of those reasons is to access files that exist on our local server file shares, but the VPN does not map the familiar F:, H; and L: drives automatically. Here are instructions on how to have a custom script written for you to access these network shares and how to use the script to connect to your network shares.

The GlobalProtect VPN allows the Cedar Crest community to access our local network for a variety of different reasons. One of those reasons is to access files that exist on our local server file shares, but the VPN does not map the familiar F:, H; and L: drives automatically. Here are instructions on how to have a custom script written for you to access these network shares and how to use the script to connect to your network shares.
- Open a Help Desk Ticket and ask for a script to be created for you.
- Once the script is created, you will receive an email with a link that will allow you to download that script.
- Click on the link in that email, that will bring you to the script in OneDrive.
- Click the DOWNLOAD button near the top of the screen to download the script to your computer. Note the location that it downloads to -- usually your Downloads folder.
- Connect to the CCC VPN following the instructions here: https://cedarcrest.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/KB/ArticleDet?ID=52547
- Once you have the Connected on your VPN, you can then double click and run that script.
- For each connection, you will be asked for your user name and password. You must put in your full email address for the user name. IE: your.name@cedarcrest.edu
- When you type your password in the black box, it will not show you that you are typing, that is OK - type your password and hit enter at each prompt.
- Once you’ve done these steps, you will have your F:, H: and L: drives.
Note: in a pinch, you can access them by opening Windows Explorer and typing in the address bar:
For the F: drive type: \\cccmain\admin
For the L: drive type: \\cccmain\dept_data
This is only applicable to Windows-based computers, for Apple computers please put in a ticket and specify it is for Mac. We can't create a script for you, but we can give you instructions on how to do it manually.
