so that I can use the necessary install files. What do I need to do? I tried it yesterday and I could only see the C:\ of the server. I need to see the external drive contents and be able to install software to each computer attached to that server one by one using the files on the external drive.The reason why I am doing it like this is the computers are not under the desks. Thanks. Also, as a last resort, I copied the folders I needed directly to the desktop of the server, but for some reason, the setup would not complete that way.
I plugged an external drive into a server and I need to be able to map to the external drive?
obviously you are talking about windows.
With explorer right click on the new drive letter , select propeties and then 'Sharing Tab'.
Select Share this folder and give it name you want e.g. 'newDrive'.
If your server is named 'myserver' then on your workstation do
net use z: \\myserver\newdrive and you will see the new drive as 'z:'
