If you are working remotely the steps below MUST be completed by logging into the DHS VDI system or by remoting into a DHS computer.
The Informatics Core will create a shared folder on the DHS intranet for file transfer. This folder will be used for the transfer of all incoming DHS data and the delivery of outgoing data. If you have already provided your C# or E#, and have received notification from our staff that your folder is ready to be mapped, please follow these steps:
Log in to the DHS VDI: https://mydesktopdc1.dhs.lacounty.gov/portal/?includeNativeClientLaunch=true using your DHS email and password.
Click on the folder icon at the bottom of the desktop.
3. In “This PC,” Click on the computer tab at the top of the window and select Map Network Drive.
4. In the drop-down, ensure you choose drive S:, or whichever letter has LAC populated next to it.
5. In the path, please enter the FULL path for your specific folder. For instance, if your DHS folder name is HS-00-0000 - Test you must enter: \\hosted.lac.com\hsa\shares\HSA-Informatics Core\HS-00-0000 - Test. This address is case and space sensitive!
6. Click yes to all of the following messages that prompt after hitting finished.
7. After mapping, the DHS Shared Drive will appear in your folder icon automatically when you click “This PC” and look under “Network Locations.” The folder should now be available for use. If you would like assistance mapping this folder, please call DHS Helpdesk IT 323-409-8000.
