goodcase Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 At work I use my macbook to connect to the office's server which is running windows server 2003. I know how to connect to the server but its annoying having to click go and then connect to server and then connect to it. Is there any way so to map the drive so it stays as an icon on my desktop?

Shaun N. Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Do you log in using a domain account? I think you can Auto connect if you are logged into the domain. http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=6&page=3 This is the guide I follow for our macs.

fishrman Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Go to your finder preferences and make sure under the "Show these items on the desktop" section, "Connected Servers" is checked (IIRC, it's not by default.) Edit: On second thought, this will only display the drive/share when connected; it's not going to show up when it's not connected. Maybe create an alias for the location?
