Working Remotely:

-Install Kerberos
http://web.mit.edu/software/win.html

-Install OpenAFS

http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.3.77/winnt/

Download file named OpenAFSforWindows-1-3-7700.exe

Click next through installation until prompted to “enter AFS cell name”.

Change from openafs.org to athena.mit.edu

After installation you will be asked to reboot.

-Configure OpenAFS as needed to get to your networked drives.

To map network drives go to:

Control panels > afs configuration > drive letters

Click add

Select a letter

Enter AFS path

Enter Submount (name)

G drive paths follow this pattern using your own kerberos ID :     afs\athena\user\h\b\hbnguyen 

Group drives are afs\athena\dept\ehslan\group\ehs   or rpp, ihp, emp, bsp, ehs-ms, safety
