Troubleshooting

Problem: I upgraded to Windows 10 and can no longer access the shared OpenDentImages folder.

Solution:

1. Confirm there is a password for the Windows server user name.
2. Reboot the server.
3. On each workstation, go to the File Explorer, then enter the server name as the path.
   

   It should prompt you for a Windows server user name and password.

   
4. Enter the Windows server user name and password, check Remember my credentials, then click OK.
