After following these instructions you should now be able to sign into CMS.

Troubleshooting

If you receive an error installing or you are unable to browse to the shared drive when asked for the path to CMS.exe, there is a good chance that the installer is not able to reach the mapped drive, even if it appears you mapped it correctly. To resolve this you'll need to add a registry setting as described here:

  1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
  2. Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  3. Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  4. Type EnableLinkedConnections, and then press ENTER.
  5. Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify.
  6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
  7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
