How to Map a Network Drive (Using Different Credentials)

Lab instruments which are not on the domain but require export of results to LIMS can map a network drive utilizing service account credentials.  This tutorial will cover the steps to follow to set this up.

1. Initiate the "Map Network Drive" process

The example used here is for Customer Analytical LIMS V8 system which uses a dataserver: NDCA0WPDB022.MacDermid.com.  The export folder is made by system administrator and is specific to each instrument and site.  In this example the folder is set up for New Hudson's ICP-Avio machine so the Folder address would look like this: \\NDCA0WPDB022.MacDermid.com\America\CA_New_Hudson_Instruments\ICP-Avio
