If you are on the VPN, you will be prompted with a Windows Security pop-up, prompting for a Username and Password. If it automatically chose your computer's username, please select Other Account.
Make sure to type in CWU\ before typing in your username like down below and this will change the domain to CWU. Once your credentials are filled, click OK.
As a reminder, please make sure you are using the most recent credentials (Username and Password) in the security window, otherwise, it will not allow you to map the network drive. If you are unsure what your username or password is, please view the Password Reset guide.
