MAC – Force Disconnect Server

FORCE DISCONNECT SERVER MAC

Delete Keychain Access for those servers

  • Desktop, GO menu, select UTILITIES,
  • Find KEYCHAIN ACCESS and launch
  • On the left you’ll see LOGIN
  • COMMAND click the server addresses to highlight them (*.184, and *.218) then CONTROL click and select DELETE 2 items
  • Quit Keychain Access

Next

  • Goto APPLE Menu, then SYSTEM PREFERENCES, then USERS & GROUPS.
  • Click on your account name
  • To the right select the LOGIN ITEMS tab
  • If the server is listed in that window, select it and hit the minus button.
  • If the server is not in that list then proceed to the next step anyway

 

NEXT  force eject the share,
The corresponding shares for our classes are:

 

here’s how:

  • On Desktop goto GO menu
  • Pull down and select UTILITIES
  • Find the app named TERMINAL and double click. You should get a screen that looks blank except for line prompts and the cursor just after a “$”
  • COPY PASTE this code next to the “$”
  1. diskutil unmountDisk force /Volumes/documentary_sha
  2. HIT RETURN KEY
  • You should get a text response that will hopefully be:  Unmount successful for /Volumes/documentary_sha
  • Quit TERMINAL
  • On DESKTOP, click GO, CONNECT TO SERVER
  • This is the window that opens. Yours will be different in that the servers won’t be the same.
  • Holding the COMMAND key down click on all the addresses that end in .184 OR 218
  • Once selected, hit the “-“ minus button in the lower left of that box
  • Clear the server address box
  • Enter afp://152.2.233.218
  • If the connection dialog box opens  then
  • Registered User is ticked and DO NOT select the remember password in keychain
  • If that still connects you to the other server automatically, then we are going to have to clean the Keychain Access App.
