![]() Now you might ask why buy a mac and run windows. Purchase a second Mac Mini and just put Windows Server 2012 on it. But I would also like to set up a Windows Domain Controller so that I can either: I purchased a Mac Mini to run Apple OS X Server on and also make sure that I can pass the certification test for Apple. I am in a small apartment and am setting up my home network. This can also be done from the address bar in Windows Explorer on some versions of Windows (if not all versions).Well the title says it all. You can also use Start > Run (or WinKey R on Windows 7 , I believe), and simply type \\hostnameORip\share, and you should get prompted for credentials, at which point you will enter the creds you use to authenticate on your Mac. Otherwise, if you want to go the GUI route, simply go to Computer > Map Network Drive > Enter appropriate info ( \\hostname\share or \\IP\share and the credentials you use when accessing the drive on your iMac). So if using Cygwin, it would actually be like this: net use m: \\\\iMacHostname_or_IP\\share /user:iMacLoginID iMacPassword Just for good measure, I will also add that you can do this the exact same way from the Bash shell on Windows if you are using Cygwin as long as you make sure to escape all of the backslashes. This will use your Mac login credentials to mount the share as drive letter M:\ on your Windows machine. ![]() You can map it from the command line (cmd.exe or PowerShell) using net use: net use m: \\iMacHostname_or_IPAddress\share /user:iMacLoginID iMacPassword Click 'Finish', enter your username and password when prompted, and if all is well the drive should now be mapped under the letter you assigned. ![]() Now, select a drive letter (usually you don't have to change it) and enter in the share location, in the format shown above. Make sure you tick the "Connect using different credentials" box. ![]() is still there if the user logs off and back on again) make sure the "Reconnect at Sign-in" box is ticked. If you want the share to be persistent (i.e. A window should open up asking for a drive letter, the share location, and two checkboxes for reconnection and alternate user authentication. To map the drive, go to 'My Computer'/'This PC' and click on the 'Map Network Drive' button in the top ribbon, under the tab 'Computer'. ![]() If all is well, you should be at the share folder. If you're prompted for a username and password, then enter them here. In the 'current folder' bar up the top (where it says 'This PC', 'C:\Usersįor example, if the IP of the machine is 10.0.0.1 and the share name is potatoes, you would enter: \\10.0.0.1\potatoes As you're the one who set up the share, I'm assuming you know the share name and the IP for the machine. ![]()
