Added Connecting to RDP and mapping network drive (Mac) section
To map the network drive, go back to your computer's desktop (i.e. not the RDP machine's desktop) and go to File Explorer and click on This PC. Look for the "Computer" tab in the menu at the top of the window and choose Map Network Drive. Use whatever drive letter is open (for example, Z:) and for the folder, type: \\128.42.44.182\bulk and make sure to check the box that says Connect using different credentials. Then click Finish and type in your password when prompted. You should be able to see the network drive on your computer now.
'''Connecting to RDP and mapping network drive (Mac)'''
First thing is that in order to connect from Mac to Windows you need to download the [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12&ls=1 Microsoft Remote Desktop App ] off the Mac App store. Then upon opening the app go to Create / Edit Remote Desktops. On the Connection Center screen click New. A new window should pop up prompting you for several fields of information. Here are the important ones:
* PC name: this should be the RDP machine's IP address (128.42.44.182)
* Credentials: The user name and password to be used for the RDP server, your username should be ad.mcnaircenter.org\sahil (where sahil is replaced with your username on the RDP machine) and your password is your password.
Finally save the remote desktop and you should be able to access it from the Microsoft Remote Desktop App.
To map a network drive, go into the OS X Finder and hit Command+K which should bring up the "connect to server" menu. from that menu enter \\128.42.44.182\bulk into the server address and click connect. It should prompt you to enter your username and password which are the same as before. Once this is done the drive should now appear on your finder menu sidebar.
