- RDS can only be mapped as a network drive on-campus. If you are off-campus, connect to the University VPN before connecting to RDS.
- Only one set of UniKey credentials can connect to RDS from one computer at one time. If you have connected to RDS using a different set of UniKey credentials (for example, if you are using a shared computer and someone else has left their RDS drive mapped), disconnect their network drive before mapping your RDS share.
- MacOS users may need to disconnect and reconnect their network drives if their existing mapped network drive stops working.
