Cannot map a domain network drive. Unknown anomaly

Dear Technet!
I have a very annoying problem. We a have a Win2008R2 domain. Many domain client desktops and laptops, and some "out of domain" laptops. The problem is connected to the last ones. Everything is fine to map a shared server folder, because everyone
has a domain access instead of the client is domain or out of domain PC. Of corse I have to set manual the out of domain PC's network drives.
BUT we bought a Fujitsu Lifebook P Series laptop with Windows 7 Professional (it is an out of domain client) and I confronted with an anomaly.
When I manualy want to map a network drive it not change the domain!
The steps:
-Right click at Computer-> Map network drive
-I selected the Letter and type the shared folder: \\server1\folder1
-NOW it is ask the authentication process BUT
Normaly when I type the username with domain mydomain\username it should change the PC's name to the domain name like: JoeysLaptop --to--> MyDomain
And the problem is here. It NOT changes, and I cannot map the drive, because it say cannot find this path. In every else W7Pro laptop its working fine, but this one. Internet connection working. Pings are working, DNS working.
I checked the firewall settings, the services, the sharing center (public and home&work) file and printersharing and the networkscan is ON, the NetBIOS over TCP/IP is ok. So I am out of ideas. The other laptops are working fine with mapping, but this
one. Same OEM Win7Pros like this, but this is not working.
I do not realy want to reinstall with corporate windows, but that is my last option.
What settings are wrong and where should I search it?
Can anyone help me?
thank you,

Hi,
Are you able to connect to or access that network drive or shared folder? When you map the drive, make sure the computer you're trying to connect to is turned on and you have correct permission to perform this action.
Or try to use net use command to map the drive and check if it works.

  • Using MDT, cannot map a specific network drive

    I built a system using the Win7 64-bit DVD, installed a few applications.  Tested opening a server in question. 
    Then ran Sysprep and Capture and saved the image as a WIM.  Put that WIM in a task sequence and installed on another machine.  Now that server cannot be mapped at all.  However, other servers in our network environment can map fine.  What
    could it be that after the sysprep, and then deployment, could prevent it mapping to a single file server?  Any suggestions will be helpful as it's driving me nuts.

    Your writing makes it a little difficult for me to understand, but perhaps, and I'm only guessing here, the 'Apply GPO pack' step in the "State Restore" group spoils the game here. Perhaps the GPO settings have caused a lock-down of this system in question?
    What have you tried? Firewall disabled, or modifying the network center "Changed Advanced Sharing settings"?The settings that can be found there are mainly responsible for the visibility of a server.
    Pres command prompt and type "net use" to see if any drive mapping has already been made, and is blocking the access..

  • Error message when mapping to a network drive of a DFS share on Windows 7

    Hi,
    We are getting the following error when mapping to a network drive of a DFS share on Windows 7:
    “The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:
    A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated."
    In our case, the user logs on his workstation using his regular domain account, then maps to the network DFS share using the service account of an application.
    There is a fix from Microsoft (MS KB968264). But this fix requires disabling the "Network access: Do not allow storage of credentials or .NET Passports for network authentication” property. This is against the Microsoft own best practices (Network access:
    “Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication” should be set to
    ENABLED), and is NOT acceptable for us for obvious security reasons.
    Question: Does anyone know an alternative fix to this issue that does not introduce security risks?
    Thank you in advance!

    Again I have tried this, but in my program if I try to save to the a drive when no disk is inserted, the JOptionPane i want to display is not coming up.
    the system prints out
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: A:\image.jpg <The device is not ready>
    If that makes any sense to you

  • NSS6000: unable to map as a network drive in Win7pro

    I have setup my NSS6000 through the web browser interface (setup RAID5, created a volume, created a share (using CIFS protocol), and created a couple usernames). Now I am trying to map my share as a network drive and it is not working.
    I select Map a Network Drive in My Computer, select a drive letter, enter its ip address as "\\192.168.0.xxx" in the folder line, and check the boxes for "Reconnect at logon" and "Connect using different credentials"
    After entering all this info, a logon screen appears asking me for a username and password. I enter the username and password for a username I created through the web interface. After a few seconds, the logon window reappears. I try my username/password again, this continues 3-4 times and then finally it says "Windows cannot access \\192.168.0.xxx"
    I have gotten error codes of 0x80070035 (The network path was not found). Also, when I select "Diagnose" after getting the "Windows cannot access" popup box, it sometimes tells me "The device or resource (192.168.0.xxx) is not set up to accept connections on  port "The File and printer sharing (SMB)"."
    I can see the device in the Network window of My Computer (listed under "Other Devices" as NAS00xxxxxxxx). I can also continue to access it via the ip address through the web interface.
    Some things I have tried:
    entering the MAC address instead of the IP address (\\NAS00xxxxxxxx) as the folder
    entering \\192.168.0.xxx\nas as the folder (nas is the name of the share I created)
    entering my username as both "NAS00xxxxxxxx\username" and just as "username"
    entering my adminstator login credentials for the web browser interface as the username/password, as opposed to a username I created within the web interface
    Not checking the "Connect using different credentials" box
    I can't believe this is so difficult. Can anyone help me solve this? Thanks

    Thanks for the tips - here's what I did and the results
    Created a new username on through the web interface; changed the hostname to "nasbox"; rebooted the NSS6000; rebooted the pc while the NSS was booting; logged on to the pc with a generic username (not admin or administrator)
    tried again to map it as a network drive - specified \\192.168.0.xxx\nas as the folder name (again, "nas" is the name of the share I created on the device), selected the checkbox for "Connect using different credentials". Clicked finish, box for username/password pops up. I enter the new username/password I created - same result. No joy.

  • OVI Suite STILL cannot sync to a network drive

    What is the point of having a support forum when everything gets ignored!
    What is the point of having a feedback system when it all gets ignored!
    I tried to select a network drive to sync photos and videos to but it wouldn't let me! I google it only to find that in this same forum, the question has been asked and AN EMPLOYEE from Nokia suggested they'll add it. This was over 10 months ago and still in this new version, nothing has been done on that front!! I still cannot select a network drive to sync photos and videos! I can't sync to the local drive cause frankly, the space available on the N8 is more than on the local drive!!
    For how long will you go on ignoring us like this???
    I have been a passionate defender of Nokia since 2001 till literally 5mins ago when after downloading the new OVI suite, a simple task like syncing contacts crashes OVI time and time again.
    I can't select a network drive to sync to, all my support posts for the N8 have so far been ignored!!
    Do you guys actually have any software testers in the company?? Why is it that anything to do with software, you get it so horribly wrong. Whoever is running that bit of the company needs to be fired and new brains brought into the mix!
    I love Nokia as a company as they're full of ideas and potential but the software guys will spell doom for you! If something so simple like syncing contacts can be missed and the software is allowed to be released to the public with that very obvious bug!! Can't you just have it so things JUST WORK?!?!
    My N8 is riddled with very simple and obvious bugs that I don't know how it passed. e.g screensaver not coming on when you lock the phone - you have no idea how annoying this bug is. Also for some reason, all my widgets are now about 20% bigger meaning the contents don't fit within the confines of the widget space and information is cut off!!
    I am so **bleep** with the whole company right now I'm on the brink of just throwing it all away and saying goodbye to Nokia for ever!
    But fortunately, my hatred for Steve Jobs is even more and can't be bothered with Android!!
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SORT ALL THIS NIGGLING THINGS OUT!!!

    you can find the path in the windows registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite\{D995DE8A-1556-45a3-BC7A-568E63663F25}\PcPath]
    or just search the registry for the path shown in the 'Photos folder location' shown in the ovi suite.
    or search the registry for the value 'photos path'

  • Cannot print file to network drive.

    Hello...I've searched the forum and have not seen this specific question.  My company recently upgraded to Windows 7 and we use Acrobat X.  When we print from something such as Outlook, Word, notepad, etc., then select Adobe PDF as the printer...then select the location to print to as a network drive, it always fails.  The printer icon has a yellow sign with an exclamation point, and when you open the printer properties, it just says "Error printing".  If you select a local drive, such as C:\temp, it works fine.  It's not a permission issue, because I have full admin rights, and it still fails.  We have multiple users trying to do this, and it's the same for everyone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This part is not working when you choose a location other than a local disk.
    opening document to print > selecting adobe pdf printer > saving file to network drive > print
    The job sits in the print queue, stating an error and I not been able to determine what the error is.
    What I did just find out that worked is using the Acrobat Office addin "Create PDF".  I am running office 2007.

  • LR library cannot be on a network drive ... only when using Windows?

    The technote
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=333660
    describes a lock file for the library when using Macintosh.
    According to the technote for Windows there should be no need for a lock file because no concurrent use of LR should be possible and LR refuses to create/access a database at a network drive.
    What about Macintosh? Can the LR database be at a network drive when using Macintosh?

    >"Can the LR database be at a network drive when using Macintosh?"
    NO!

  • Cannot map or even see drives on xserve RAID hanging off a xserve

    Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, but when it comes to Macs I am one. We have a OS X Server 10.5.8 and a xserve RAID. The RAID looks ok and under the server I can see both of the RAID drives that have been created and access them. When we try to map to it on one of our house Macs, its errors out with "There was a problem connecting to the server." When we try to map to just the root of the server, we can see its hard drive, but not the RAID drives. Any help would be most appreciated!

    By default, Mac OS X Server only shares the root drive.
    In order to share external volumes (such as the XServe RAID volumes) you need to use Server Admin to mark the volumes as shared (as well as which protocols to use).

  • Network Drive Mapping for users who have Port 445 (possibly others) Blocked by their ISP to a Server 2008 system

    Nice to see my original posts are still up.  I was hoping that in the ensuing time someone had found a solution.  At least I can now see many other posting the same problems.  :)  Thought I was losing it for a while.
    We have 100% proven that the problem (in our case) is from the ISP blocking port 445 (possibly others but 445 for SURE) with the reasoning that it prevents the spread of some Internet "worms".  It also just happens to prevent people who work
    from home from being able to map to their network drives at work.
    What I was hoping was that eventually someone would comer up with a solution for this short of having to load a server using a different OS from Windows.  The SMB protocol is the one needing port 445 as far as I can tell.  Not all ISP block
    port 445 and the laptops that use those ISP's  have no problem.  Unless they travel.  Then it is "hit or miss" as to whether the ISP for the Hotel they stay at blocks it.
    I have run multiple tests to prove that this was in FACT the problem.  Even the particular ISP in question which is a very large national ISP company freely admits they do this supposedly to prevent the spread of an unnamed Internet Worm.  It also
    happens to prevent Business use of their Internet by Home Subscribers at they cannot map to their Business Servers which also need port 445 to map.
    I have used WebDAV successfully to get around this but at a huge loss of speed and performance.  Cloud services all do essentially the same thing and all have pretty much the same loss of speed.
    If anyone has come across a method of allowing a drive mapping to be rerouted to any other port, that is the only hope I have short of changing to an alternate OS for the Office Server and even then I cant be sure until I try if it would help.  I read
    somewhere about the possibility of routing through a proxy but again, the problem would still be that the requests for mapping are expected on port 445 on the server and they will not get through even to the proxy since the originating ISP is the one blocking
    the port from the User's system. 
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated  I have posted this question now for several years with no one yet providing a working solution.  Hope burns Eternal though :)

    Yes, OwnCloud is an option as well as many others.  Even self hosted Cloud services such as the WD MyCloud all work.  The problem is speed.  JungleDisk is the best I have found so far.  I am not sure exactly what they use to allow the
    drive mapping but it seems to work faster that anything else I have found.
    VPN's don't work.  At least none of them I have tried.   I can connect a VPN with no problem.  But still cannot map a drive over it.   Actually, there are some issues with the VPN as well but these are just a matter of methodology. 
    Mapping to the FQDN works for some people while others require the public IP.  Some users on some ISP's can map using the FQDN, others have to map to the IP.  That in itself was a bit odd.
    I have tried every trick I could find including adding  the IP and/or FQDN to the Windows Hosts file on the server as well as on the client systems.  This actually did help to get the VPN to connect in some cases.  However, it still would
    not allow me to map a drive letter.
    I can create a Network Place,  This also works.  But it will not allow me to MAP that "network place" to a drive letter.  I have tried multiple utilities that allow mapping of Drive letters to almost anything but they wont work to map to a
    Network Place.
    The software that needs the mapped drive is a SQL database which runs on port 2004.  The program itself has no problems at all connecting to the server to run the database.  Even on systems which cannot map to the needed drive letter for the documents
    referred to in the database.    Users can run it and look up all kinds of material but it it is only a half-solution since the database refers to files stored in a "common-mapped" drive letter.  Which I cannot Map.
    I have tried every possible configuration of the VPN setup I could find, I have even tried a "Test System" with the NIC connected directly to the T1 Modem.  With all firewalls off and no AV software.  Even if that had worked,  there is no
    way I could run like that.  But it didn't.  Same issues.  All this did was put the blame squarely on the User's ISP which was the only reason I did it.  I had to rule out even the slightest chance that it was something in our equipment.
    This was already almost a certain fact since the same user could take their laptop to a WiFi Hotspot at a fast food restaurant and connect as well as map the drive.  As soon as they went back home, no drive.  On the ones I could convince to pay
    the extra charges, if they switched to a business connection from their ISP, No Problems.
    On most MiFi or other Cellular Internet devices, No Problem,  Although that had a habit of changing.  We had a few that worked for a while, then they got a software update for their MiFi which immediately blocked the ability to map.  Others
    it would be that some models of Cellular HotSpot units worked while other would not work even if both came from the same carrier.
    Coincidentally, we had none of these problems before two other events occurred: 
    One was the release of Server 2008 R2, (which was a kid of "surprise" change for all of us used to Server 2008 R1.  Welcomed changes, but not expected with a simple SP release. 
    The other was IPV6 finally became a reality:  June of 2012.
    This left us with much head scratching as to what was the real cause of the problem.  It took months to narrow it down to port blocking by the Outside ISP's with a 100% certainty.  Even tried reloading a system with Server 2008 R1 just to rule
    that out.  As well as disabling IPV6 on every network device.  The problem stayed with the User when Outside and which ISP they were connected to.
    Currently we are using a mix of normal VPNs for those who can run them, and CLOUD access for those who can't.  Even this is problematic since we have to keep both the local copy and the cloud copy in constant sync so that everyone sees the same versions
    of the same files on each one.
    Sorry to make this so long but I wanted to cover everything to show that we tried it all.  The only thing left short of getting the ISP's to remove the port blocks would be to find a way to route the SMB file requests around port 445 in some way. 
    I have been told that this is easy enough if using a file system other than Windows but that is not an option even if true. 
    Thanks for the updates and ideas.  I keep hoping that eventually there will be some secure method for mapping a drive letter that does not depend on having port 445.

  • I have just purchased an iMAC. O/S is Lion. I just cannot access the files in my Microsoft network drive which my  macpro snow leopard has no problem. Looks like it is just the Lion O/S has the problem.  The file I needed to access are my photo files.

    I have an iMAC running Lion cannot access my Microsoft Network drive.  It sees it on Finder but said connection failed.  By other Macpro Laptop which run Leopard has no problem at all. It lreads and load my photos from the RAID Drive. I am sure some asked the question before but it is new to me. That was the reason I am not upgrading my Macpro to Lion yet.  was it a bug in Lion networking area?
    Thanks for the help !

    You need to move to Windows 7, because Apple is now releasing a new OS X version annually and it's playing havoc with people's hardware and software.
    Windows 7 will get support until 2020, that's 8 years of software stability, however you do need to make System Restore disks, boot disk and another on a hard drive to self restore (like TimeMachine is for OS X)
    Apple has no plans to change their currrent behavior as all they care about is selling new hardware with a shiny new OS X verison on it.
    If you wait to move, what will happen is you'll lose that full 8 years and will have to swtich to a newer Windows sooner
    Windows 7 machines are still widely avaialble, despite Windows 8 (a failure) being pushed currently.
    Running three OS X operating systems on one machine is quite a chore reserved for only seasoned computer geeks, then it's only going to last X months as the next OS X version will be released, then the next a year after that.
    Another method would be to get a virtual machine software (virtualbox is free) and install Windows 7 into that to ease your transitition if you cant' spring for a Windows 7 machine, preferablly a tower that will last a long time.
    Here is a method to run Snow Leopard in Parallels, however it's a unapproced hack and not for the comptuer newbie.
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    We have no control over Apple's OS X release cycle, nor the third party developers who make their own decisions what to support.
    Our only choice as users to stop using both products and seek software/hardware stability.

  • MSI installer closes with error 1327, Invalid drive on Win 7 Ultimate when My Documents is moved to a network drive

    I have several computers with Windows 7 Ultimate installed here at the Pioneer Library System. We have ~20 workstations running XP Pro on a Active Directory domain and are planning on rolling out Windows 7 this fall. I am running Windows 7 to test our programs
    (have since RC1) but I am running into an issue when installing software.
    The problem I am running into is that when I try to install any program that uses the MSI installer on Windows 7 , it fails with a 1327 error at the point where it is preparing to install and says "Invalid Drive H:\".
    All the users in our domain have the "Home Folder" on their active directory profile set to
    H:\ (which is mapped to \\PrimaryDC\user$ in the same place). We have also moved the
    C:\Users\user\Documents folder to H:\ so as to keep all documents on the server where they get backed up regularly.
    If I move "Documents" back to C:\Users\user\Documents the MSI installer works fine. When I look into the registry as suggested in
    this thread I found that in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders " and in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
    Folders " the key "Personal" points to "H:\".
    But, H:\ is a valid connected network drive. Installing from the same account on an XP computer with
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents moved to the H:\ drive works fine.
    I have tried setting up another 7 machine and get exactly the same results on it.
    Is there a workaround for this besides creating a admin account that does not have Documents mapped to the network drive
    H:\ to use for installing programs?
    Thanks

    PLS

    I do not have the option with some of these files to pass parameters to the MSI installer. For example, if I download the Acrobat Reader installer from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe and run AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe
    it extracts the MSI file to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files and then runs it.
    To reproduce this an a Windows 7 computer (does not have to be on a domain):
    Prep Work:
    Create a user (test1)
    Create a folder on the root of C (C:\Test)
    Set permissions on C:\Test to allow the test1 user to have full access to it
    Share the C:\Test folder as test1 (again, set the permissions to allow the test1 user full access)
    Set the "Home Folder" for the test1 user connect to Z: and point that to \\127.0.0.1\test1
    Login as test1
    Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
    Check that it works:
    Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
    Note that it works
    Uninstall Acrobat Reader 9.3 using "Programs and Features"
    Break it:
    Login as test1
    Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
    Go to C:\Users\test1
    Right  click on the Documents folder and click on properties
    Click on the Location tab
    Click on "Browse" and select the Z drive
    Allow Windows to move the files to the new location
    Check that it is broken:
    Check that you have access to the new Documents folder at Z:\
    Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
    Note that it extracts itself to C:\Users\test1\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files
    and runs the MSI installer from there
    Note that after the MSI installer is started it pops up an error saying Error: 1327, Invalid drive Z:\.
    I also see this with various other install programs (VMWare vSphere Client, VMWare Player and Kaspersky Antivirus for example)
    Is there any reason why this should not work? Is there something that I should be doing differently?
    Thanks

  • File adapter write to network drive fails

    Hi all,
    I have a problem using the FIle adapter. The situation is as follows:
    - SOA Suite 10.1.3.5.0. installed on Windows
    - SOA Suite runs under windows user soaadmin, a user with local admin rights.
    - A network share is mapped as a network drive on a remote (windows) server, assigned drive letter 'T'.
    - user soaadmin is added to a user group on the remote server that has local admin rights on the remote server.
    - In my BPEL process, the file adapter is configured to write files to 'T' drive.
    - At runtime, ORABPEL-11054 occurs: Directory cannot be created successfully. Directory: T:/ cannot be created successfully.
    - If I configure the file adapter to write to 'C' drive all functions well.
    - From the windows explorer, user soaadmin can create files on 'T' successfully soa apparently has the right privileges on 'T'.
    Any clue as to what may be wrong?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards Rob

    please use FTP adapter instead of File Adapter.
    Thanks,

  • Connect Windows XP to Mac Network Drive

    I have a little wireless home network between two Macs and an Airport Extreme. I have a Mac-formatted external drive connected to the Airport Extreme, used for mostly for file sharing between the two Macs. I also have a Windows XP (SP3) laptop connected to this Airport Extreme for access to the Internet, and I would like to be able to access the external drive as a network drive, as well. I have been trying to map the external network drive via Windows XP, but it doesn't show up anywhere. The "network" doesn't even show up in Windows Explorer.
    Is what I'm trying to do even possible? If so, can someone point me in the right direction to set it up correctly?
    I appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Thank you for responding.
    I have managed to partition the drive using the Mac using the latest leopard (10.5.6) using GUID and Mas OS extended (journaled). PC partition was Master Boot and whatever the MS-Dos option was. The PC partition works.
    I connected to the PC and the PC partition is recognized and shared. However the Mac Partition does not show and you cannot see it through the network from the mac either.
    I am new to the Mac OS X so bare with me please. Is what I am asking it to do possible? Or do you have to purchase a Time Capsule to use TM, unless it is connected via a USB or Firewire?
    I am not sure what #4 Mac Running 10.5 server (where do I check that) or what #5 "SAN volumne managed by Apple's Xsan file system" are.
    Can you kindly explain, and if there are steps I need to know, please elaborate. I appreciate the help.
    Is is possible to run time machine a Mac partition of an external drive, connected to a PC (Win xp media) and accessed through a wireless gateway network.
