Not every employee is tech savvy or open-minded about trying, or <a href=\"https:\/\/community.jumpcloud.com\/t5\/jumpcloud-products\/you-don-t-need-ad-to-have-a-file-server\/td-p\/426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>even accepting<\/em><\/a>, new things. File servers are oftentimes critical infrastructure and users are accustomed to working with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why uninterrupted access is important when a small and medium sized enterprise (SME) is considering making the &#8220;jump&#8221; away from Active Directory. Fortunately, an easy configuration accomplishes just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is a trick that veteran Windows admins are familiar with: using commands to map network drives, which fixes the problem of missing desktop drive icons among VPN users. The same solution can be applied when transitioning from Active Directory to JumpCloud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an approach that keeps users happy, workflows uninterrupted, and reduces support calls. More importantly, it provides a runway to a longer term strategy for file sharing and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-maintaining-windows-files-shares-with-jumpcloud\">Maintaining Windows Files Shares with JumpCloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/wbpcp3fn41.jsonp\" async><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script><div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;width:100%;\"><div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_wbpcp3fn41 seo=true videoFoam=true\" style=\"height:100%;position:relative;width:100%\"><div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0;transition:opacity 200ms;width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/wbpcp3fn41\/swatch\" style=\"filter:blur(5px);height:100%;object-fit:contain;width:100%;\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" onload=\"this.parentNode.style.opacity=1;\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The following steps make it possible to use Windows File Shares with JumpCloud, even after detaching users and devices from Active Directory.

Windows will generate another batch file for the login command after you run this the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can verify that drives are mapped on a user device by running the net use command. Note that all drives will be mapped, but access will be restricted by the share\u2019s permissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users will receive an error message when attempting to access a drive they don\u2019t have access to. This is a common user experience for Windows File Shares, but you can avoid this scenario by creating individual batch files for each shared drive.
