Losing Mapped Drives

I recently purchased and setup my linksys WRT54GR router. I am having a problem with the mapped drives on my computer dropping their link and not being able to be reconnected.
The primary part of the network consists of a server running Windows 2003 SBS and a computer running Windows XP Pro SP2. Both computers are connected to the router via ethernet cables.
The server network card is set with an IP address of 192.168.1.2 with the Linksys router having an IP address of 192.168.1.1. The Linksys IP address is defined as the gateway for the server. The cable modem is connected to the router.
When I first start up the XP computer everything is fine. After some period of time, my mapped drives become inaccessible. The internet still works from my XP computer but if I try to access any of the mapped drives (which are pointing to the server) I can not open them. My computer can no longer "see" the server.
If I logoff and login again I can use the mapped drives again without problem. The dropping seems to happen after 10 to 12 hours of the computer being on and logged in. I never had this problem with my old router so suspect it is a setting, but I have no idea where to look
Please help!!!!

It's not tied to the lease time, but thanks for the idea.
I think my system is setup with my Windows 2003 server acting as the DHCP server, and that may be the problem since my old router used different IP addresses. I made a few changes to my setup, based on some articles I found and I am waiting to see if that helps.

Keep losing mapped drives

Hey everyone...
Few weeks ago I got a shiny new 21" iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, upgraded to 8 gigs RAM) and have been running into intermittent connectivity issues that are driving me crazy....
After much searching around, I found a "how to" helping me with an Automater script to mount and map some drives that are on another server here on my home network upon starting up.... Among other things storage-related, all my iTunes stuff is on this other server and I have my library set to use this mapped folder
On a pretty consistent basis, the iMac forgets these mapped drives in Finder...
This is causing issues when even trying to open iTunes as the assigned location cannot be found... or i'd be playing some music or podcast and BAM, iTunes coughs up a hairball because the computer lost/forgot the mounted drive locations.....
Any tips on what I can run/look-into? This happens both wired (DHCP addressed) to the network or connected by WiFi (Netgear N-router)... though it happens much more frequently when connected via wire.....
Only other helpful piece of information I could provide is that I did download and buy "Little Snitch", not sure if that could cause any issues or what not.....
Thanks in advance
- Stephen

What will that do?
UPDATE: Even more confused now. Now, the iMac sees my PC desktop and some other device (the name is a seemingly random string of numbers???) which shows nothing if I select it. However, the network drive does not show up under devices. BUT, even more weird is that in iTunes, the network drive does show up in Shared (I think). And even more weird than that, my AppleTV shows up now even when it's turned off. Used to be it only showed when it was powered on.
Needless to say, I am struggling to understand what appears to be random connection of devices on the LAN.

Windows 7 network issues accessing shared/mapped drives.

I have three Thinkpads running on my home wireless network. Two are running XP. One - a new W520 is on Windows 7-64. I have no issues with the XP machines. The Win7 machine is having problems with the wireless network connection. It's not that I lose the network - the status is connected with a good signal. The problem is when retrieving or saving files from my server (running XP with shared/mapped drives) I get errors reading and writing files. Just opening the shared drive in My Computer on occasion displays nothing, as if it knows the drive is there, but can't read it. Sometimes it displays the folders but then will take an extremely long time if I try to open a folder. Another issue is if I try to print, the job rarely completely sends to the printer. If I plug in directly to the printer via USB, the file prints.
This has to be an issue with Windows 7 and something in the wireless setup, doesn't it?
I've searched for solutions all over the network. It seems this is a common Win7 problem with no well defined solution. I've had the issue since the very first day, but today, I'm just about ready to backrev to XP after losing 2 hours of work on a Photoshop file!
To date (over the last month) this is what I've done:
Disabled the IP6 stack.
Turned off power management to shutdown the wireless card.
Updated to the latest Intel drivers for the Ultimate-N 6300 AGN adapter (direct from Intel.)
Today, I ran this, netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled but still have the network drive issue plus am having issues browsing web pages. It's getting worse instead of better.
Anyone familiar with this issue on a Thinkpad with known solutions or recommendations?
Thank you!

The local device name is already in use - Mapped Drive

I am having an issue with users losing their mapped drives to a Server 2012 box when they come into work the next day. The error message is "The local device name is already in use".
Autodisconnect has been disabled on both the server and workstations as per Microsoft KB articles, and the only way to correct the issue is a re-boot of the workstation.
I doubt it is the workstations that are the issue as drives mapped to Server 2008r2 do not experience this issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
>>I am having an issue with users losing their mapped drives to a Server 2012 box when they come into work the next day. The error message is "The local device name is already in use".
To tackle the issue, we can try to remove the existing network mapping, and then create a new network mapping for the share.
In addition, although the following KB applies to Window XP, it focuses on the similar issue and can be referred to as reference.
You may receive the "The local device name is already in use" error message when you try to restore a network mapping connection to a shared network folder on a Windows XP-based client

Windows Users losing mapped share

OS X 10.4.8 Dual G5 Xserve connected to Xserve RAID
We have a problem with our Windows Clients losing a SMB share after a period of time. Basically the mapped drive just disappears. Hoping someone might have some ideas. I don't notice anything odd in the logs.
-dustin

We've got the same problem (in a mixed Mac/Windows environment) -- the Xserve disappears from the local Windows Workgroup on a seemingly random basis.
One workaround we're currently trying is to not rely on the Xserve's spotty presence in the Workgroup at all, and instead on each Windows client manually set up a Network Place with the server's IP address and SMB-enabled folder (which will always mount regardless of the Workgroup invisibility problem), then map the volume to a drive again. Then the drive will always appear, even if the server is invisible in the Workgroup.

Loss of mapped drive, networked drive disconnects

I'm running Win7 ult x64. I am running on a network with 4 pcs, 2 vista, 2 xp. We have one server running 2000. I have mapped a couple of folders on the server and can connect just fine when I first start my pc. But after awhile the connection is lost. It still shows the drives, but not the connection. This internet works fine and access is controlled through the server. I can restart my machine and the drives will be connected and working as they should. But after some time they will disconnect again. Win 7 is acting like it is losing the connection to the network, because I can't map another drive from one of the other PC's unless I reboot. But the internet access is still working fine. Any ideas?

To All,
Here is what I have found. This is a problem with Windows 7 and nothing else. After several test and looking at forum after forum. here is what I came up with.
I have 3 machines. 1 (XP) and 2(Windows 7 recently loaded). the 2 machines that I loaded Windows 7 (fresh) were both XP. The 1 XP machine that is still XP for this post I will call File_Machine (because this is where I hold my files and
map to from the other machines.
1. When my other 2 machines were loaded with XP I have no problem with mapped drives. No dropping or reconnection problems.
2. I load Windows 7 on 1 of my machines and start noticing when I would shutdown or logoff it woudl hang at the log off screen and the only way to shutdown is a hard shutdown. I knew it was related to a network connections not closing or something
but could not isolate it.
3. Installed Windows 7 one the other machine (oohh by the way 1 is Windows 7 Ultimate and the other is Professional). I started experiencing the same problems with this machine mapping back the my File_Machine.
4. Saw a post referencing the idle network connection disconnect feature in the Windows Operating system.. so I looked at my XP machine (File_machine) active sessions.
5. I brought both windows 7 machine online and let them restore the network connections to the XP box. after being idle for a while the sessions dropped because they were idle (this is normal and by default). ok fine.. no problems there.
6. here is the kicker.. when I went back to either Windows 7 machine and clicked on the mapped drive, it hung and would not reconnect to the share. the share is fine and active. The problem is the Windows 7 is not sending the correct signal to
the system housing the share to reconnect.
7. To confirm this I ran the following command on the XP (File_machine).. NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1 (this command disabled the autodisconnect feature in a network connection is idle).. the (-1) represents the duration to wait before disconnecting.
-1 is to disable.. I believe the number range is from 0 to 655555 or something.. representing seconds.
8. after the was disabled there were no more dropped connections.
9. set the number to 1 and tested again.. and the problem came back..
What does this say.. Microsoft needs to look at Windows 7 reconnection attempt commands for idle connection and see what signal is being sent to the resource to say wake up and reconnect me because it's not working..
Hopes this helps everyone and Hope MS reads this and looks into it.. You know have the info on how to recreate the problem.
Hi What_I_Found,
What is the default value for NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1 command ?
As I would like to test and see if this command works for me and if it doesn't then I would like to go back to using the default value.
Thanks in advance,
Bashy
I found the answer, and all of the above info here...

The default "Disconnect setting" is set to 15 minutes.

Error while saving a .PDF File to a mapped drive

The issue I am having is similar to the one found on this older post. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3066663#3066663
The issue is as follows. I have a small company about 15 users divided into a couple of departments with different networking access needs. They each have Adobe Acrobat version XI installed on a Windows 7 Platform. Each user has a set of mapped drives that correspond to their department. The Disk mappings are all directed to the main shared Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. At any time there can be a number of PDF files open and being worked in. The same PDF is usually not opened at the same time from two different locations.
The issue is that two users who do a large amount of the work, IE. Scanning documents and adding them to documents that have been previously created, are reporting the same issue. The issue is when they have the PDF document opened and they are adding new content. Once the new content is added they go to save the document and then receive the following error:
“The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.”
In order to save the file the user has to use the save as function and then browse to the original file location to save the document with the changes that have been made.
Along with the above error we have noticed that Adobe Acrobat is renaming the file that has been changed to aae##### or aak##### or aan#####. The file name is changed causing the normal save function to not work correctly.
Is there a reason Acrobat would be doing this?
I am not using Microsoft SharePoint.

My users started to experience this issue for files on network shares as well once Adobe Reader was updated to 11.0.10
It has to do with Protected Mode being turned on. I don't know if it was off by default & now it is on with the update but turning it off changes Adobe Reader's behavior back to what the users expect - a prompt warning you if you want to overwrite the existing file & then selecting Yes to overwrite.
To disable Protected Mode:
Start Adobe Reader
Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
Close Preferences & Close Reader
Now open a file from a network share & you Adobe saves as it used to.

Program running under UAC prompt hides mapped drives

I have a user on Windows 7 with a non-admin account who runs a program that pops up the UAC. She clicks yes and the program runs. However, since the UAC was involved, it is running with a different token than what she logged into the computer with.
This means that the program doesn't see her mapped drives when doing a File | Open. She has to navigate to the data folder on the server via Network. Needless to say this is cumbersome and inefficient.
What can I do so that the program sees her mapped drives? I don't know of a way to get rid of the UAC except to turn off UAC which I do not want to do.

Running Your App with Administrator Privileges
There are times that you may need administrator privileges for an application. You may write code that directly interacts with a piece of hardware or an app that sets machine-wide settings in HKLM. When possible, you should design your apps to limit the
need for admin privileges to narrow sections of code, or communicate to an application started with full administrator privileges. Aside from MSI-based elevation, there are two ways to create processes with a user's full administrator token. The Application
Information Service (AIS) will check during process creation and during the creation of a COM object using the CoCreateAsAdmin moniker to see if the
binaries require administrator privilege. It is important to note that the elevation occurs at the time of process creation. The process token never has privileges or group membership added during run time, only when it is
created.

Creating a symlink directory on a network share to a path below a mapped drive letter, local path, or UNC path does not work

Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
###Mapped drive letters don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a hardlink:
mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
dir .\test_sharedir
#Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
#File Not Found
UNC paths don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a symlink:
mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
dir .\test_dirunc
#Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
#File Not Found
I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
Are my assumptions above correct?
We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\). I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
"s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server]. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Mandy,
The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks. I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
You will see the following:
I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD. The CIFS server service does not appear
to operate like this.
1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
Thanks for your time,
Matt Brown
[UPDATE]
Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC.

When logging on to Windows 7 user gets a second mapped drive to the users home folder

Morning,
I'm working through an issue we've discovered whilst trialing Windows 7. Our environment is setup as follows.
Domain Controllers are Windows Server 2003
Clients are Windows XP and Windows 7
Windows XP and Windows 7 Clients are in seperate OU's
All Windows XP Group Policies apply to Windows XP And Windows 7 clients, Windows 7 policies are then applied to Windows 7 clients after
Windows 7 policies are setup such that any setting defined in a Windows XP Group policy is left unconfigured in the Windows 7 Group policy and only new Windows 7 settings have been set in Windows 7 Group Policies.
We have users home folders mapped in their Account Directory account setting and set to H:\   to connect to
\\domainname\dfs\home\username
In addition we also as a fail safe map the drive via a login script using net use
This has worked fine for years in windows XP, if Active Directory failed to map the drive for any reason then the login script would then map the home drive.
In Windows 7 we have noticed a curious error. We found after a period of a couple of weeks we suddenly started getting a new drive mapped. This was identical to the H:\ drive mapping but was instead under drive Z:\. In other words, the
users home folder is mapped twice on h:\ and z:\. This is not affecting any of the Windows XP users.
I have gone through several logic reasons to ascertain why this has happened with the following findings.
1. Originally we thought the error appeared when we tried out mapping the home drive using the mapped drives functionality new in Windows 7 group policy under preferences > windows settings > drive maps. However, after forcing it to delete the
Z:\ drive using this functionality we only succeeded in removing it with a group policy present to do it. As soon as we removed that group policy the Z:\ drive came back
2. Secondly i thought the reason we would be getting a z:\ drive when we haven't specified it anywhere is because active directory is trying to map to the H:\ Drive but it is already present therefore in Windows 7 it tries to map to a different drive.
Using Windows logic it tries the highest letter first which is unlikely to be in use i.e. z:\. This makes sense because our logon script uses a net use h:\ command to map the drive and i believe by default these are set to perisistent. Therefore
the next time the user logs on H:\ is already mapped so the logic in Active Directory accounts maps the drive to Z:\ instead hence we end up with two mapped home drives. To test this i altered the login script to set the drive maps to
non persistent using persistent:no. The logic here was that when the user logged off the drive would become unmapped so that when Active Directory tried to map the drive it would be able to use H:\. Unfortunately this was not the case and
Z:\ remains.
3. Here is where i resolve the issue but i don't know why and is the bit i need answering. If i go into my account on Active Directory and go to Profile and set the home folder drive letter to another letter i.e. change from H:\ to U:\,
i get prompted to set full control etc and apply. I then set the drive back from U:\ to H:\, again i am prompted for setting full control which i accept.
NOW when i login i no longer receive a Z:\ drive and only get an H:\ drive. YAY, thats what i want, however, i do not understand why this is the case. At first i thought it might be something in the active directory logic when i login to an XP
machine and then login to a windows 7 machine.  IF you bear in mind that although i get a new profile in Windows 7 i still retain the same home folder setting. However, after logging on an XP machine logging off then logging
on a Windows 7 machine i still didn't get the Z:\ drive back.
I have tried creating a new user that ONLY receives our Windows 7 Group Policies and still they receive both an H:\ and a Z:\ drive which rules out the Windows XP policies conflicting with the Windows 7 policies.
Does anyone have any ideas why i would get a second drive mapped to Z:\ logging into Windows 7 on a Windows Server 2003 domain?
Can anyone explain in more detail exactly how the Active Directory functionality works when you specify a connect to Drive letter for a users home folder?
My current workaround is simply to add a net use command to remove the Z:\ drive. I do not want to use Mapped Network drives using the new policy settings in Windows 7 RSAT because we have already found issues with it.

We had the exact same issue happen to us. No issue on Windows XP but Windows 7 mapped two home drives (F and Z). F was mapped during the login script and Z was being mapped by some unknown reason.
We use Netapp for our storage and home drives and use a feature called CIFS Home Drive Mapping. This essentially maps a user to a folder not available through normal CIFS methods causing AD to error when setting the home drive. To get around this we use
dsquery and dsmod to modify this attribute in the user account. This is the command we used...
dsquery user -name %UserNameX% | dsmod user -hmdrv F -hmdir \\filer\$username$
Notice there is no ":" after the F
We determined the root causewas the value for the
homeDrive attributefor the user account was set to "F" instead of "F:"
When we updated our users to reference "F:" instead of "F" in their user, this problem was resolved.
Use LDP or some other method to verify that the homeDrive attribute is set to "F:" (or any other letter) or you will have this issue.

When using a personal dropbox account, is it possible to use the mapped drive without downloading all my dropbox files to my hard drive as well?

When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only? Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive. My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space. Any advice out there? Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
Dropbox's forum has this too…
https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works.

Mapped Drive - Location Not Available

I have a small recurring problem that is starting to get a little bit bigger.
My environment is:
Server 2012 Standard, AD, File Server, Print Server. Running on Hyper-V (2008)
Clients are Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.1 all professional.
I have a number of mapped drives that all go to this same file server. If I open a Windows Explorer window on any client and leave it open, after a while (always seams random), I will eventually get an error message saying "Location Not Available"
The contents of the directory I was looking at goes blank when this message comes up. I can click OK and immediately hit refresh on the Explorer window and the contents will come back.
Most of the time this is annoying but I am finding a couple of applications that do not like this behavior. They crash or close connections when this happens.
I have had a Remote Desktop connection open to this server while getting this and it does not get disconnected. I do not see anything that looks related at all in the log files of the client, the server or the Hyper-V host. I have made sure that the drivers
on Hyper-V are up to date as well as all firmware (especially the network cards).
I am not sure if the problem started when I upgraded my personal workstation to Windows 8 (from 7) but that is when I first started to notice this.

Hi,
Do you mean the issue only occurs on Windows 8 systems?
Also whether these mapped folders are DFS shares or just normal shared folder?
If DFS is involved, test to disable Client Side Caching to see if it is related. Please add this key in all DFS target servers.
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanServer value=<sharename> cscflags=48
As it is a random issue, it will be difficult to find out the root case. You can try to capture a network trace with Network Monitor when the issue occurs. Let's see if any specific information could be found.
Detailed steps could be found:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812953
Note: As the issue occurs randomly, the package may be large as you need to wait until the issue occurs.
Note2: you can upload package to OneDrive however as is open to public so everyone could see that package.

Windows 7 64bit indexing network mapped drive

Hi people,
I've spent a lot of time with windows indexing on mapped drive. But without result. I've tried install hotfix, but nothing happens, Add-in works only for 32bit system, but I use 64bit. Using of symbolic link in library is without result too. I don't know,
why MS released add-in only for 32bit. Could you help me, how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Media shares auto mapping drive in Windows 8.1 Pro

What setting in Windows 8.1 is causing the automatic mapping of several shared folders named media?
I work in a university environment with staff, faculty, and students using wired and wireless networks. I have a user with a Surface Pro 3 that has started to automatically map, what seems like random addresses on the wireless network, to file shares
named media. When I setup these computers for the users I always have the media sharing turned off and I've never had cause to use it myself so I'm only a little familiar with what the settings do. I've tried to change my own settings to reproduce
the problem but I can't seem to find the correct setting so that I can reverse it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Hi Pete de Pistola,
If your machine keeps reconnecting to a map drive, from driver path you should be able to track down which machine is shearing folder. Also since it is a Wifi network we wonder if users could use their own device which is not configured by administrator.
As I know to prevent file sharing, group policy might be the only option.
Enable or disable File Sharing with Group Policy

How to add an image from mapped drives?

Hi all,
Currently I've a BSP service running some picture are stored within the service directory (using import MIME) in the WEBAS like ...
http://webhost/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zris/GFX/logo.gif
but now how can I display in the same service pictures taken from a mapped drive ? (ie: l:\pictures\logo.gif) without importing them into the WEBAS service?
Is there a possibility to create a virtual directory in the service mapped to the l:\pictures or something like that?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Erik

Hi all thanks for your answers,
<img src="file://c/images/pictureOfTheDay.JPG">
that's what I was using during my test, but the thing is that it need to have the drive mapped locally on the computer running the browser. Now I just want to map those drives on the WAS.
about installing apache on the file server, well I'm in a big corporate ... so you know ... security, policies, dmz etc.. etc...
I will check out the parameter.
