How to disconnect a network drive filtered to a computer group

I have a Group of computers that needs to get a specific network drive disconnected. There is a user setting for this but the problem is when i need to filter this against a computer Group. If i have user settings i need to filter against users/user Groups.
I cant do this on computer configuration, even With script, computer configuration is loaded before the network drive is mapped up. Is there any way i can apply a user configuration filtered towards a computer Group?

You can target a computer group in user GPOs. You cannot security filter
for computer groups in user GPOs.
> to remove a network drive for a group of computers. There is no setting
Did you map these drives in a startup script in system context? Or are
these drives mapped to users logging on to these computers?

Unable to Disconnect (Eject) Network Drive (Share) 10.4.8

Help, please.
Background:
We are running a MacMini in our office that has SAMBA running to share files across both mac and pc space. Works fine, never have a problem with it.
Problem:
However, since the update to 10.4.8, I have now seen (about 4-5 times) the following problem: After being logged onto the Samba Network Share (Network Drive) for the workday (using Airport), the client machine is unable to eject/disconnect the share. In the end, the finder hangs so bad, that we have to power off the mac.
Regression:
(1) I have seen this problem on both a TiBook (10.4.8) and a 1 week old MacBookPro 15.4".
(2) Typically, on first attempt to eject the network drive, I get the finder response that the drive is busy and cannot be ejected. I can quit all open applications, but this does release the drive.
(3) On the second/third attempt, I continue to get the same error message. I can sleep the machine, but I still can't eject the drive. On occasion, the finder hangs and I get spinning BBOD.
(4) On one occasion, I was able to shut Airport off and after a LONG wait, the finder gave up and disconnected the drive (this is similar to how it used to behave in 10.4.7. Not wonderful, but slow and functional).
(5) However, the last few times when Airport was disconnected (or the machine was sleeped and then awoken elsewhere) the spinning BBOD remained and the finder was completely unresponsive. In this case, I am unable to even force quit the finder, turn airport back on, or anything at all. This results in me having to force power off the machines...an embarrasment for a mac enthusiast.
Questions:
(1) Any thoughts?
(2) Is there a command line tool that allows me to "snoop" and figure out which process is tying up the network shares?
(3) After the force power-off, which logfile or crashreporter should I be looking at so that I can send it in to help track the problem down?
Thanks all!
TiBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) Also seen on MacBookPro 15.4"

BDAqua,
Thanks for the link to Applejack. I've run it twice (once manual, and once in full AUTO deep clean). It fixed some pref's, but didn't find any problems with the disk or anything.
Let's see where that puts us...
Further Regression
(1) I can re-create the problem by inserting a CD-ROM or connecting to a network SAMBA share.
(2) On a FRESH BOOT, I can eject, re-insert and eject the CD-ROM with no problem at the login screen. However, once I've logged into an account (any account will do), I am no longer able to eject the CD even if I log back off.
(3) I have noticed that when I try to eject the CD-ROM I get another instance of diskarbitrationd launching (for 2 instances total). Not sure if this is normal or not.
(4) I have tried to run "sudo diskarbitrationd -d" from terminal to get some debug info, but it always responds with "service is already running". Even a -SIGHUP won't allow me to relaunch diskarbitrationd (since it autolaunches immediately)
(5) I trolled through /var/log for anything interesting but could only find something in the system.log. Mar 8 08:37:22 MyDrive kernel[0]: disk0s3: I/O error. The interesting thing is disk0s3 is my internal drive.
(6) I took a look at pdisk to see what I could see. rdisk0s3 is definitely the main partition on my internal HD. It is unable to read the partition map of the CD (rdisk1). I'm not sure if this is normal for CD-ROMs or not.
(7) I've trolled through /etc/mach_init.d and a few other places where diskarbitrationd things lie. Not sure what to look for but didn't find anything interesting.
So....if anybody has an idea on what service to look at or try to get debug info out of (or how to get diskarbitrationd to actually enter debug mode...) I'd be hella thankful.

How do I get network drives to show in left panel of media browser

Okay, I'm new to audition. When I start Audition's media browser, only the local HDD's are shown. If I OPEN FILE, I can navigate to find tyhe network drive and Audition will open the file. Also the network drives show in Windows Explorer. I searched the FAQs and the help file, but maybe I'm not using the "magic words" So, how to I get these network drives to appear?
Windows 7 64 bit home premium
home built 3.67 gb Intel Quad core, 12 GB RAM, Several local HDDs
Audition CS6
Thank you

I'm not sure this is correct. I have mapped a NAS to drive "Z" and mapped a drive on my video editing desktop to drive "Y." These both show up in the left panel of the media browser for Premiere and Photoshop as the share names "MYDOCS" and "BAAAA," as well as in Windows Explorer. But not in Audition. Only the local drives are shown in Audition's media browser.
I can open a file in audition by using BROWSE by clicking on "MYDOCS" or "BAAAA" as they appear in the Windows Explorer file dialong and then navigating on those drives to the desired files.
What am I missing? Do others have their network drives show in the left panel of Audition's media browser?

How to index a network drive so spotlight can search there as well

Now i like the speed of the search for Indexed drives but it is useless on my network if i am looking for a special document which is backup on our network spotlight does not find one single document any other search options or tool available.

I found this page that informs you how to activate indexing on network drives. However this was written during the Tiger days so I'm not sure if this applies any more. Someone in the comments noted that indexing of network drives for spotlight was disabled permanently in Leopard so I'm not sure if that's changed for Snow Leopard.
Anway, here's the link: http://forum.multiplexapp.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=17

How do I search network drives with Snow Leopard?

I cannot find a way to search available network drives using either Spotlight or the Find command. This is a simple action in Windoze. How do I do it in Snow Leopard (10.6.8)?

I finally found a partial answer at: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
The rest of the story is that you have to change the back slashes in the Windows address to forward slashes in a Mac browser address field to get to the folder. NOTE that the Finder's Go command is useless for such connections.

How to disable smb network drive failure to connect warning

Hey,
we have a number of users using os x machines to connect on our domain, all of them have network drives configured via connect to server option smb://etc/etc
When the user is docked into the network they login just fine, obviously if they are no on the network the drive will not connect and during login they get a pop up saying connection to server failed etc etc.
Is there a way to disable this pop up ? had a number of cases this message will pop up and cause issues with login or just fail.
I do not want to demap it , I just want the message to go away as these users are highly mobile, on off the network multiple times a day.
Or is there a better way to map this drive/server ?
Thanks
GV

Thanks, but why would backuping a USB drive work and not a network drive ? I don't see much difference but maybe I'm missing something.
Is there a plan to implement that feature ? I mean Apple is offering the capability of plugging external drives into the time capsule and airport extreme, so why aren't these included in the overall scheme of backing up ? Sounds weird to me.
Also, could you please point some "hack out there" cause I didn't find any.
Thanks!

How to import from network drive?

I have a macbook pro, iMac and Time Capsule. I exported my images from macbook to Time Capsule. A few of these images I would like to import into apeture on my iMac. What is the best way to get images from a networked drive to import into a new project on apeture 3? Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
Cathy

Is it a few images or complete folders?
If it is a few images go to File->Import->Files. Select the drive and folder where the images are and import them.
If it is whole folders of images go to File->Import->Folders as Projects.
Note in both cases the network drive needs to be attached to the Mac before you will see it in Aperture. So open Finder and select he network drive and then select a folder on the drive. You should see it in Aperture after that.

How to embed a network drive into a SAPUI5 shell

On booting W7 will not now go past the Welcome screen until I disconnect my network drive...

Since the latest W7 updates on 14th Jan my Dell Studio XPS will only boot if I disconnect my network HD first. Otherwise it just hangs at about one third of the way into the welcome screen W7 booting process.
Is there any fix for this?
RW.

Hi,
It may waste a lot of time for initializing network while booting into desktop.
So, please check Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
policy setting and disable it under Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates \ System\Logon
To capture a boot trace, install the
WPT , open command prompt with admin rights and run this command:
xbootmgr -trace boot -traceflags base+latency+dispatcher -stackwalk profile+cswitch+readythread -notraceflagsinfilename -postbootdelay 10

Network Drives not waking with computer from sleep after ML install(Wired connection)

Since installing mountain lion my network drives do not wake with the computer. The drive folders for them are not on the desktop. I have to go through my shared directory and click on the drives again for them to appear back on the main screen.
Any ideas?

I tried the "usual" reset of PRAM and SMC and now it seemes to work correctly!

How to mount a network drive

I am new to automator and seem to have a problem mounting a drive automatically.
I have tried using “ask for server” but it is not what I want. The drive I want to mount from my net work is 192.168.1.5/public. I can mount it every time manually by going,
finder: go: connect to server: home-network: Nas-lacie: Connect: public
and then putting in my Name and password (or even finder: go: resent folders: public).
but I would like automator to do all this.
I put in automator 'ask for sever' 'view results' the results are {“afp://192.168.1.5/?NAME=NAS-LACIE”}
then
'Connect to servers' 'view results'
{alias”public”}
I seem so close yet so far can someone help me
many thanks

How to Adapt my IDE Drive to a New Computer?

I know this isn't the right forum, but I have a removable IDE hard drive bay that I'm installing in my new computer. The new computer has SATA jacks and PCIe jacks. I need to adapt my IDE drives to work with the new computer. any ideas? Specific brands?

You're pretty much out of luck, as far as IDE hard drives are concerned. Sure, you can buy adapters for your IDE drives - but they use bridge converter chips that may cause compatibility issues with modern systems. And even with the adapters, you are limited to the number of SATA ports on the motherboard or controller card (which generally allows only one disk per port).

How can I map a network drive on an iPad once a VPN is established?

I have a new iPad and I am trying to access a network drive once I establish a VPN on my company's network. I can establish the VPN, but I am not sure of how to map a network drive like I do on my MacBook using smb.

Not true. You can use the app NetPortal https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netportal-access-files-on/id323133602?mt=8
Does exactly what you want. There's a free version, netportal lite, that does the same thing but only lets you access PDFs. Try downloading the free version first to see if you are able to get connected. I was able to easily on first try once I establised my VPN, ran this app, and entered in the local IP address, username, and password.

Creating a folder alias on a shared network drive

Hi,
I have a folder that is housed on my computer that I would like an alias of on my company's shared network drive. I will have access to the shared network drive from my home computer either through Citrix or a VPN, so I would like the alias on that drive so that it will reflect any changes I make to the files within either from my work or from my home computer. My question therefore is, how do I create an alias of a folder on a shared network drive? I tried creating an alias on my local drive and then dragging it to the shared network drive, but that just copied the folder and removed the alias.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nevermind. I must have copied over the original folder the first time instead of the alias, as a simple drag and drop of an alias folder just worked fine for me.
