I have a brand new Mac that I am trying to set up on a windows based network. We have other macs that are able to access share drives so I assume any configuration that needed to be done on our windows 2003 servers has already been done. I have absolutely no experience with Macs so I apologize for my complete lack of knowledge on the subject. I have already gone to Directory Access and entered "mydomain.net" for the forest, "mydomain.net" for the domain, I have checked off "force local home directory on startup disk", "Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location, Network protocol to be used: smb:" and "Default user shell: /bin/bash"
But when I then go to the Network utility (if that is what you call it) I get an error "The volume for "Network" cannot be found."
How do I access a windows share drive from a Mac?
