Connecting to Jukebox (Chem-Jukebox.ad.wsu.edu)

Chem-Jukebox.ad.wsu.edu (Chem-Jukebox) is the department file server. All software installation packages that are freely available to Department of Chemistry Faculty, Researchers, and Students are on Chem-Jukebox, within the “Jukebox” shared folder.   Download and use of these applications is limited to Students, Faculty, and Staff of the WSU Department of Chemistry, as most of the applications available have limited seats/licenses and require a license “checkout” via one of our on-campus licensing servers.

The one exception is ChemDraw/ChemOffice, which is available university-wide via our university site license.

Chem-Jukebox is only directly accessible from the WSU Pullman campus networks (ethernet or “WSU Wireless”).
If you are off-campus, you must connect to the WSU VPN first, then connect to Chem-Jukebox.

Accessing Chem-Jukebox from Windows 10 & 11

While the screenshots are from Windows 10, the process is exactly the same for Windows 11 

    1. Open File Explorer. If there is no icon for it on your taskbar, you can push START and start typing File Explorer and the icon should appear (we recommend pinning it to your Taskbar like in the pic below).  You can also access it by pressing START and the “E” key simultaneously:
    2. In the Address Bar at the top, type:
      \\Chem-Jukebox.ad.wsu.edu
      then press ENTER.
    3. Chem-Jukebox.ad.wsu.edu will ask you to authenticate.
      Input your network id, prefaced with AD\ e.g. AD\butch as shown in the picture below.  Do not include @wsu.edu.
    4. Troubleshooting: If your username is autofilled (incorrectly), you forgot to include the AD\, or for any reason you are unable to access the folder at this point, try the following:
      Select “More choices”

      Select “Use a different account”
    5. Type your username in with AD\ before it and hit Enter.

      If you are still unable to access the server, verify that you are connected to GlobalProtect. If you are still having issues contact FulmerIT for further assistance at Chem.FulmerIT.Help@wsu.edu.
    6. Chem-Jukebox.ad.wsu.edu should show its available resources. Some resources are shared printers, some are shared folders.
