To disconnect a mapped drive on a Macintosh computer:

1. Ensure that no henry.lawrence.edu/student network connections remain connected. To do so, open any finder window (such as the Macintosh HD) and look at the connected volumes in the left column. If Student is listed, click on the eject button just to the right of it.
2. If you connect to the Student share via the ITS AppleScript, delete that script and download a new edition from the ITS website (http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/its/students/config_osx.shtml).
3. If you are not using the script, from Finder, open the Go menu, and choose Connect to Server. In the Connect to Server dialog box, find any existing Favorite Servers that point to smb://henry.lawrence.edu/student, select and remove them from the list by clicking the Remove button.
