We cannot reliably mount the UWP Y:-drive for our users, because of some issues. On the following link you'll find all available solution to reach your Y:-drive:<br/>

----<br/>
'''Users with sudo'''<br/>
For users with ''"sudo"'' rights on their PC, there is another option.<br/>
* First you'll have to login to "https://uwp.rug.nl" and go to ''"Tools & Utilities"''. Open ''"Explore Group Drive Y"''.
* In the newly opened explorer window, right click ''"Shared Storage (Y:)"'', select ''"Properties"'' and go to the ''"DFS"'' tab.
* In the ''"Referral list"'', look for the path that says ''"Active"'' is ''"Yes"'' and write down the first part of the path... ''"CL*-N*"''.
Now on your own system, create the directory where you want to mount your Y drive, e.g.:
mkdir /mnt/Y
In the following command, change the path to what you've written down and change the username to your p-number, then you can mount your Y drive on your system.
sudo mount -t cifs //CL*-N*.workspace.rug.nl/ydrive /mnt/Y --verbose -o username=p123456,workgroup=WORKSPACE,vers=2.1
To do this permanently add the following lines to your ''"/etc/fstab"'':
# The UWP Y-drive
//CL*-N*.workspace.rug.nl/ydrive /mnt/Y cifs username=p123456,workgroup=WORKSPACE,vers=2.1 0 0
