Change of Mapping Drives in my system

Dear Sir please help me, i could not install the latest version, it was saying that error please change the mapping G Drive, how could i change the mapping of drive from Gdrive to Cdrive??

Ok, a new message to me but probably the same cause as other people with similar problems.
This can happen if you move one of your personal Windows folders to an external drive or USB key, then remove it. Most often this happens if someone drags My Pictures to an external drive. This is not making a copy, but making a permanent change to the Windows setup.
It doesn't mean that Adobe Reader wants to install to G:. It means it needs to check on the My Pictures folder (for some reason).
The quickest fix is usually to put back the original disk that you used, and drag back the folder.
If you can't find it, just adding anything that becomes G: will usually let the install finish, but Windows will remain broken and this will happen more.

    To reinstall the original OSX in your rMBP, boot the MBP using the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys.  The display should show a picture if the planet earth and you will be connected to the Apple servers.   Make certain that you have a solid Internet connection and follow the instructions.

  • Changing sort order on Netware mapped drive

    We have a problem on our Netware drives. Changing the sort order (by date) more than two times makes the actual explorer window almost unusable.
    The gray progress bar within the adress field takes hours to complete the command. This happens only on netware mapped drives.
    There are no problems to change the sort order on windows or NAS drives.

    Right now, I have no Netware Server available, and it *might* make a big
    difference that you're still on Netware. On OES/Linux, I can't duplicate
    this. In fact, I can't even make the grey bar at the top come up at all
    when I sort, it's instant.
    So, here are some questions:
    1. How does it behave when you open the directory the first time? How
    long does it take?
    2. Do you have the windows explorer preview feature enabled? Does it
    help to disable it?
    3. Does it happen everywhere, or just some users / machines / directories?
    4. Last but not least, would you be in a position to take a lan trace
    with wireshark of that issue?

  • Report on remote users mapped drives

    After a very thorough search, I can't find anyone else who has had this question answered.
    I have a need to on-the-fly report on the mapped drives and their letters of users on remote computers. Running "Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_MappedLogicalDisk | select Name, ProviderName" only returns my drives under my credentials, not the remote user. Looking
    at HKU:\sid\network apparently only reports persisent mapped drives or drives mapped by the customer and not drives mapped by logon script that are not persistent.
    There doesn't seem to be a way to do this on-the-fly which is dissapointing, so I'm hoping you'll have a trick up your sleeve!
    The only way I can figure to get the information, but not on the fly, is to have a logon script run as the user and grab the info and save it somewhere. I'm really hoping not to resort to that. All of that becomes historical info and won't reflect changes
    that happen after logon, so it's not going to always be a true reflection of reality.
    The key seems to be running a wmi query as someone else that you don't have credentials for. Is that possible? Or do you have another suggestion?
    Ian

    I believe this post may already be closed.  I, however, would like to add my findings:  When I run this against different pc's with different users logged on:  Get-WmiObject
    -Class Win32_MappedLogicalDisk -ComputerName <remote computer> | select Name, ProviderName
    (Keep in mind that I'm a local admin on my pc as well as the destination pc's
    as well.)
    1. The logged on user is non-admin on their pc.
    Mapped drives are not retrieved
    2. The logged on user is admin on their pc.
    Mapped drives are retrieved
    3. I'm logged on to the remote pc (local admin)
    Mapped drives are retrieved
    Conclusion:  As long as the target pc logged on user is local admin on that pc then the
    mapped network drives will be pulled by the previously mentioned command.  Otherwise, it will come back empty.
    A question posted previously was:  "I'm
    curious why you need to know mapped drives??" In my case, I am trying to back up mapped network drives for all domain users.  However, logon or logoff scripts are not
    an option.
    The real question should be: Why is the previously mentioned command not pulling the mapped network drives when the logged on user is not a local admin on the target pc?
    I believe the answer is that the drives are not mapped to the remote computer per se, but to the user's process on the remote computer. And while an admin on that computer has significant power over the hardware and operating system, it cannot take control
    of the process, which is locked by the user's credentials.
    Consider remote control. My regular account is logged onto another computer. I run mstsc to establish a remote control session on that remote system under the same credentials. The effect is to disconnect the other remote session and lock the system on its
    console, and for the new session to inherit the original process, seeing the same desktop with the same apps open.
    I then run mstsc to establish another remote control session, this time using an account that is an administrator on that system. It tells me my regular account is already logged on, and gives me two options, abort my new session, or log the user out. using
    my admin credentials, I cannot take over the user's session and see what applications he has open or what drives he may have mapped.

  • Net use map drive is working with built-in admin account only

    I currently have a windows 7 PC that I use
    net use in cmd file to map drive to Windows server 2008. 
    It works if I use built-in admin account/password but I've tried another account that's in the administrator group on the server and I get errors.
    NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot  password /User:adminuseraccount
    NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:server\adminuseraccount
    After tweaking the net use command a number of ways,  the 2 following errors are what I'm getting for the most part:
    System error 1219 has occurred.
    Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more
     than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the
     server or shared resource and try again.
    OR
    System error 5 has occurred.
    Access is denied.
    I've looked at many searches on this but can't get this to work. 
    Also,  one thing I'm thinking of doing is changing the built-in admin name and password.  Is this a safe thing to do?
    Thanks,

  • 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!!!!
    Caren

    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.

  • Group Policy Pref - Mapped Drives Not Applying to One User

    Hi All,
    I’m new to this list, so please excuse any etiquette slip ups.  
    I have three users at a site. All their machines are running Windows XP Service Pack 3 and have client side extensions installed. I created a group policy to map their default drives using GP User Preferences.
    Each of the drives is set to "update".
    As an example of the policy created XML is as follows:
    <Drive clsid="{935D1B74-9CB8-4e3c-9914-7DD559B7A417}" name="H:" status="H:"
    image="2" changed="2009-11-25 05:13:58"
    uid="{8A44D2F4-AAE5-4F43-AEEC-D36F08EA619C}" desc="Maps the users H drive to
    ServerName\users$\%username%" bypassErrors="1"><Properties action="U"
    thisDrive="NOCHANGE" allDrives="NOCHANGE" userName=""
    path="\\ServerName\users$\%username%" label="Home (ServerName)"
    persistent="1" useLetter="1" letter="H"/></Drive>
    and
    <Drive clsid="{935D1B74-9CB8-4e3c-9914-7DD559B7A417}" name="J:" status="J:"
    image="0" changed="2009-11-30 03:52:58"
    uid="{535CD462-A45D-4363-ADA1-2316D5ECC703}" desc="Maps J drive for users to
    \\ServerName\apps" bypassErrors="1"><Properties action="C"
    thisDrive="NOCHANGE" allDrives="NOCHANGE" userName=""
    path="\\ServerName\Apps" label="Apps (ServerName)" persistent="1"
    useLetter="1" letter="J"/></Drive>
    The group policy is applied to an OU for that site. 
    All three users are in the same OU.
    All three users are also in the same “xxsitecode Users” group.
    2 of the users log into their pc and get the mapped drives with no issue, but one user doesn’t.
    There are no other login scripts and the user has no manually mapped drives.
    He does have a H drive mapped using the profile field in his AD object as a temp measure. But every 90 mins any other manually mapped drives are removed by the policy.
    We don’t use roaming profiles
    To trouble shoot I have tried
    -    Reinstalling client side extensions
    -    Re-joining the pc to the domain
    -    Running gpupdate from the command prompt to see if any event logs are generated (none are)
    -    Manually mapping the drives to make sure there is network access etc – I can manually map them/he can access them.
    -    Creating the user a new account, when he logs in using that account he gets his mapped drives on all PC’s
    -    Getting the user to log into a different pc, when he does this he doesn’t get his drives – so it’s not his machine or profile
    -    Manually checking the security on the user object in AD against one of the users who gets their drives mapped
    I'm sure the GP is fine because it works for two other users and the testing isolates his user account as the issue.
    The Policy I’m having issues with is xxxx Mapped Drives/ Printers
    I have posted this issue on the tech net GP discussion groups page, but haven’t had any replies.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Simone

    What's interesting is that I applied a new GP to users - it has one policy setting and one preferences setting. He only gets the policy setting.. aka he gets the wallpaper but not the homepage.
    Also, Jorke asked me to post the gpresult /z .

  • Mapped drive to other domain on another subnet disconnects

    Hi,
    I have a strange situation here. Tasked to change/upgrade nearly everything about this companies IT setup. Old servers, old domain name, old switches and some old workstations with XP. I bought all new servers, switches and some new workstations. set up
    all the new equipment and placed a linux box as a router between the two networks. Just for reference old is 192.168.1.0/24 and new is 10.1.1.1/24. I have the 10.1.1.0 network using DHCP and defining a static route to the 192.168.1.0 network as the router
    10.1.1.254. All seems to work fine and once I move a users network cable to the new switch and join them to the new domain. I can map a drive to the old file server's 1 big share and use other credentials as 'old domain\user' and password and all is well.
    The issue I am running into more and more is the mapped drive from the old network disconnects. A user will open a file and work on it and when they go to save it will say it is not available. They need to open the drive then save. On rare occasions they need
    to disconnect the drive and remap it.
    All of this was to try to buy some time while moving the users over one department at a time, but I am spending less time working and more time remapping drives.
    Any help would be welcome.
     

    Hi rcc9979,
    Seems like your map drive lose connection frequently, for good measure, please try to access or browse the mapped drive and wait for few minutes then see if it reconnects.
    And please let us know if this issue happens to all users, one Specific user or only some users in one network.
    Then you could use net use command with “/persistent:yes” parameter to map network drive then see if the issue still persists.
    If this happens to all users, this behavior might be caused by the systems can drop idle connections after a specified time-out period (by default, 15 minutes) to prevent wasting server resources on unused sessions.
    To fix this issue we could download fix tool or by Registry Editor
    More information please refer to:

  • GPP Shortcuts using Mapped Drive Paths

    I have been using Group Policy Preferences to map drives to a network share.  I then have a number of shorcuts created to items on that network share using the fixed drive letter.
    So for example Shortcut1 points to L:\program\program.exe.  Mapped drives were used rather than unc paths for a number of reasons.
    This works correctly with XP SP3.
    On a Win7 client the shorcuts are not created and event log shows:-
    '0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified.'
    I'm guessing the order in which the preferences are applied may of changed in Win7?

    I'm having the same issue here.  Win 7 SP1 Ent Workstations, Windows Svr 2008 R2 AD  And tested successfully ONLY under a domain admin account.  It appears the Policy and the GPP Shortcut functionality does work at least in a very specfic
    scenario.  Anyone still working on this or monitoring this thread?  If no, I'll start my own new one.
    Policy looks like this:
    Action: Update:
    Name: C:\Users\Public\Desktop\<Shortcut Name>
    Target type: File System Object
    Location: <Specify full parth>
    Target path: Z:\<Path to desired folder>
    Arguments: <Blank>
    Start in: Z:\<same path as target>
    Shortcut key: None
    Run: Normal Window
    Commment: <Blank>
    Icon file path: Z:\<same path again>\Library.ico
    Icon index: 0
    Common tab has only "Run in logged-on user's security context (user policy option) checked.
    Drive Mappings are done by login script .bat file containing simple Net use commands.  And drive is confirmed connected on login. Users have a mix of modify and read\execute only rights to the target folder.  The GPO is security filtered to
    limited test users, specfically identified here,  not by group membership.  Regardless, the two of those accounts are my own, one a standard, and the other my domain admin account which has full control of the folder.  The only user
    for which this policy implements correctly, is my Domain Admin account.
    For all others I have the following in the event viewer:

  • 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.

  • 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. 
    <input id="3daf20bf-4f4d-4a05-86da-2c30c205d580_attachments" type="hidden" />

    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.

  • 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.
