Sometimes, when working remotely, the H drive doesn’t always connect. This can happen if your drives try to map to your computer before the VPN connection is established. If you are working remotely on a UNLV Laptop and your H drive is missing, use the following steps to re-map it:

1

Ensure you are connected to the VPN.
