    Mapping a network drive using certificate but not a VPN - possible?


    Hey,

    I currently connect to our office server by way of an installed certificate onto my PC and then using a VPN which is first established before I can map a shared drive and work with the files stores there.

    Is there a easier way of doing this ? ideally looking for a way of keeping the shortcut on my desktop and having the ability to drop and drag files between the two without having to connect and then disconnect a VPN.

    This possible at all?

    Cheers

    :)

    I use VPN and Network Shares SMB and eveything used to work flawlessly but since the Wannacry patch came out eveytime i connect to VPN my pc is no longer visible to Network unless i connect manually using the ip or pc name //IP //PCNAME this also removes
    any and all Network mapped drives associated to the pc using VPN on all the PC's that have the drives Mapped to them.

    The only way to use a certificate, is if you are using a Domain. VPN is for remote file servers, not in house. If this is an issue with a remote share, then the troubleshooting needs to be done there, not at the other end.
