To connect to a networked share drive such as your “H drive” (the home folder) or the “P drive” (the public folders) your Mac must be connected to the campus network in one of two ways. Connected to the Rio-Secure wireless network.

  • MacOS Server, formerly Mac OS X Server and OS X Server, is a series of Unix -like server operating systems developed by Apple Inc. And based on macOS (formerly Mac OS X and OS X). MacOS Server adds server functionality and system administration tools to macOS and provides tools to manage both macOS -based computers and iOS -based devices.
  • We have Mac OSx users running Adobe Creative suite, with a heavy focus on Illustrator. Now on the new server we are having a large instance of locked files from the Macs having files open multiple times and when the users close all their applications the files are still left as opened on the server.

Changing your wireless network at Stanford

When you register with one of the wireless networks at Stanford, your device may retain that network's SSID (Service Set Identifier) as the default network and connect to it whenever you're on campus. You can change the default network. This can be helpful if you belong to multiple groups and use more than one wireless network at Stanford.
