Impossible to reconnect all network drives
H there,
On my Windows 8, I have defined 3 network drive (from my NAS), and although I am checking the box to save the credentials (which are different on the NAS and on Windows), at each reboot of the laptop it tells me it can not reconnect all network drives, and
I see a red cross on the map.
How can I solve this, As I am SURE the remote drivs are available ( and when I click the "disconnected drive", it ask for th elogin and PW, I enter it and it works ... but I need to do that manually all the time)
Thanks !
Hi,
Regarding you issue, remapping drivers in logon script is a better way.
To map network driver, you can refer to this article below:

Could not reconnect all network drives
I have several drives mapped on different Windows 7 boxes in my office. Just about every time I boot up one of these systems I receive the message "Could not reconnect all network drives" in the system tray.
I should note that merely clicking the drive inside Windows Explorer will restore the connection. I store the server logon credentials in Control Panel / Credential Manager then just map the network paths to drive letters. I'm pretty sure the
problem doesn't stem from any credentials type of problem though, because I have the exact same situation when connecting to only open shares. I have noticed that a couple applications will restore the connection themselves when trying to access information
on a share. Most applications however will give an error and time out trying to access the shares unless I go and manually click each drive letter in Explorer. For instance if I place Firefox bookmarks on a share and open Firefox, Firefox will
display no bookmarks until I click the drive in Explorer and reopen Firefox.
One thing I can do to fix the problem is hard code my IP address. I never receive the message if a computer has fixed IP address. My router hands out IPs on the LAN dynamically, so I switch it to another router and tried a using a Linux based dhcp-server
as well. Neither fixed the problem.
I'm a long time user of batch files and realize I could place use one as a band aid for this issue, but I don't want to go that route.Hello marstech,
According to the research, the mapped drive lost issue may be caused by the several possible reasons:
Possible reason1. The problematic client doesn't reconnect to the target share at logon.
Please follow the steps to re-configure the mapped driver on the client and then check if the issue will re-occur.
Steps:
a. Open "My Computer"
b. Click on "Tools" and then select "Map Network Driver"
c. input the \\ipaddressofserver\sharename to give the path of the share
d. Check "Reconnect at logon"
e. Drive gets mapped
f. Double click on the drive to check.
Possible Reason 2. Antivirus software or Windows Firewall may block the SMB protocol on clients.
Please check if there is any Antivirus software and the Windows Firewall is enabled on the problematic client. If so, please disable them to check if the issue can be resolved.
Possible Reason3. Fast Logon Optimization is enabled on the clients.
The fast logon feature may affect the display and drive letter assignment of a mapped network drive. As a result, the drive may have been mapped; however, the user on client cannot see it in Windows Explorer. He may recognize it as a failed network drive mapping.
This is the reason why we usually suggest you to disable fast logon on the clients via a GPO, and please check if the mapped network drive will be occur under this circumstance.
Please also configure the following group policy setting to disable Fast Logon Optimization to see if the issue still exists on the problematic clients.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
When this policy is enabled, a Windows XP client behaves in the same manner as a Windows 2000 client at both system startup and at user logon.
Please note: As this is a computer configuration, please run "Gpupdate /force" and then reboot the problematic clients to make it take into effect.
For more information about Fast Logon Optimization feature, please check the following KB article.
305293 Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=305293
831998 Mapped network drive shows no drive letter or will not allow you to create new long-named files or folders
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831998
297684 Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684
If the issue still exists on the problematic clients, please also try adding the following registry subkey on the problematic client to check it works.
Steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
b. Locate and click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache
c. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
d. Type SilentForcedAutoReconnect , and then press ENTER to name the value.
e. Double-click SilentForcedAutoReconnect .
f. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any concen.
Hope the information can be helpful for you.

OSX 10.9 not showing all network drive contents
Hi,
I one of the users in our department has updated to osx 10.9
when the user connects to the network drive it connects but when the user navigates to the folder they need it appears to be empty.
We have tested on or Macs and the contents show up fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried both smb:// and cifs:// but to no avail.
ThanksHi,
There are few hiccups after 10.9 release. Have you checked and installed the following pathch ?

Auto reconnect to network drives & servers
I have an old G4 machine squirrelled away that I use as a secondary backup drive. I have it set to come on between 4 and 5pm each day and schedule Retrospect backup for the same time on my MacPro (because TM can only handle one disk location!). I have to manually logon to the G4 machine through the Finder to get the drive to appear and the backup to start.
Is there a way in OSX to get the drive to reconnect automatically when the G4 machine wakes up?
Thanks
Gordon.We had the students set up with PHDs prior to this year, but with some class realignment that occurred, even if the students were assigned the same computer number in each class (laptops are in carts where each computer is numbered 1-27), a student could potentially have a mobile account on 28 different laptops and each laptop could potentially have hundreds of mobile accounts on them. Someone suggested a script to remove the mobile account at logout, but the initial login with PHDs seems to be very slow and we don't want that long initial login all year long.
About half of the laptops are 800 Mhz iBook G4s and the other half are 2.0 Ghz Macbooks.
Thanks for the suggestion. -
All mounted network drives disconnect after sleep
10.4, airport, powerbook.
All network (SMB) drives connect fine manually. They also reconnect after after login (modified login items). However, they will not persist after sleep.
After this powerbook sleeps, ALL network drives are dropped and have to be manually reconnected. Why?
I've seen this question asked about 20 times out here, but never answered.Thanks for the reply, Tim.
However - this is a serious SMB functionality issue. Just with OS-X. Not even Linux will misbehave like this.
I have 8 (eight) drives that I need mounted - all over the network. I simply cannot fiddle with manual remounts because they are NFS or SMB drive mounts and OSX freaks out. It takes me about 5 minutes to unmount all the drives, and as long to reconnect them. Which I have to do whenever this little Powerbook sleeps. Your solution of a manual disconnect/reconnect is absurd. Multiply this by the # of Apples we have, and you see what I mean.
We have 15 Windows laptops, and as many desktops that keep ALL of these drives mounted regardless of sleep, power cycle etc. All machines except the Apples.
If this bug needs escalation, let's do it. I've seen countless gripes about this issue and NO resolution. This is NOT a feature, or a requirement for user manual drive unmount intervention. It's a BUG. -
One user can not map a network drive
Hi,
A costumer of mine is trying to map a network drive for an existing user that has always had access to the NSS6000 Network Storage Device. This still works for all other users except this one. It looks like an authentication failure. They connect thru CFIS (which means it's using the active directory).
So far i have troubleshooted the following and ran out of options half an hour ago.
I rebooted the NAS. No luck.
I made a different folder and gave the user access. And tried to connect to that. No luck. (to confirm its not related to the folder security)
I tried to map the drive on a different computer. No luck. (to confirm its not a local computer problem)
I tried to map the drive to another folder on a different server, this worked fine. (to confirm credentials are correct).
I tried to remove the user on the NSS600 and tried to update it. The user reappeared instantly in the user list on the NAS. No luck.
I fear the user table the NSS keeps is corrupted. And i can't find a way to force the NAS to recreate it based on current folder security or active directory users.
Please help, as i am in no mood to reconfigure the entire NAS.
Kind regards,
Tim SarsHi,
How did you map the network drive? Manually via GUI? Command? GPP? If you're using one of the above solutions, then try other solutions as a alternative way to check the result.
According to your description, If Windows remains unable to reconnect mapped Network Drive at login, then I would suggest you created a batch file with net use command, use it as an logon script, this provides an alternate way to reconnect drives on
a re-logon.
example
@echo off
net use * /delete /yes
net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name

please help me to solve the problem
(window 7 also have this problem. However, i can click the drive and it can reconnect quictly.i cannot do this in window 8.1.......it loop again)
thanksHi,
Is there any error message throwed when you reconnect the mapped drive? Can you directly access the UNC path of the mapped drive? What VPN programs do you use? Please check if the VPN client connect correctly.
You could refer to the thread below to check if the AD account is restricted by VPN.

Network drives showing repeating copies of directory content
I'm experiencing a weird issue with mapped network drives under Windows 7. Sometimes it will list the contents of a directory normally, others it will list hundreds of copies of the contents, and sometimes it will keep listing them over and over without stopping. Occasionally refresh will show the contents correctly but it's a **** shoot. It's happening on all network drives. Server is running OES under SUSE 11 sp3 with the latest update from the beginning of the month. Have not done the distribution upgrade yet. Workstation I'm on is running Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows 7 (IR5). I haven't noticed the issue on XP computers. Any idea what could be causing this? It seemed to start sometime in January or early February.

Unable to access mapped network drive, DFS
TL;DR: Unable to map a network drive on one particular computer, except if circumventing DFS.
OK - So I have exhausted all my options in this matter, so all suggestions are welcome.
Keep in mind the file system is DFS.
1. User has been set up the same as our other users in Active Directory.
2. Most network drives are connected via GPO. They are mapped via\\company.local\common\
3. The users' home folder is connected via setting in AD -> Profile -> Home folder ->
Connect X: To \\company.local\homedir\username
4. When the user logs on, all network drives defined in GPO are mapped OK, but the X: which is defined via "Home folder" in AD, is not connected. When trying to map it manually, we get "Access denied".
5. If the user tries the complete path via Explorer: \\company.local\homedir\username - Error 0x80004005 Unspecified error occurs. We have googled this particular code but found nothing that applies to us.
6. If the user tries the complete path to the folder on the actual file server, circumventing DFS, the home folder is mapped OK.
Strange thing is: This only happens on this particular computer. If users logs on to another computer, in the same domain, receiving the same GPO etc. The X: is mapped fine via \\company.local\homedir\username
Also if another user logs on to the problematic computer they also cannot access their X: on \\company.local\homedir\username
So we tried updating the WLAN/LAN drivers to no avail. Might there be any settings on the network adapters that might cause this?
KthxbaiIf other computer has the same policy ("Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM"), it should not be the cause.
I agree that all clients should have the same Group Policy but sometimes the group policy may not be applied correctly on a client which causes issues. Thus you can try a "gpupdate /force" and see if issue persists.
Also you can test to access \\company.local to see if it will success. Try \\rootserver as well if it is different as DFS folder target.
As the issue only occurs on a specific client, maybe we can have a try with re-join domain.

Network Drive disapear in Explorer (2012R2, Citrix XenApp 7.5)
We have some crazy bevavior on our Windows Server 2012 R2 infrastructur.
SERVERS
+ 3 HP ProLiant DL380 G8 Server with Windows Server 2012 R2, thereof 2 with Hyper-V Role
+ 13 Virtual Windows Server 2012 R2
On those virtual Server running the following roles:
+ 2 Domaincontroller with AD and DNS
+ 1 Exchange Server 2013
+ 1 Server with Citrix XenApp 7.5 Delivery Controller und Studio
+ 2 Server with Citrix XenApp 7.5 Delovery Controller Agent (Worker Server), one is inactiv
+ 1 Server with Citrix XenApp 7.5 NetScaler WebInterface
CLIENTS
+ ca 20 Windows 7 Pro
+ ca 25 Windows 8.1 Pro
ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR:
Users Login to their Citrix session from Intranet or Internet. Connection to their sessions works god and users can work normal. About 2-5 times a day every most of the users have Problems with the Network drives. in Windows Explorer the drives disapear.
about 30 seconds later most of the Network drives are available again. we were connected with some users to watch it an we can see in Explorer that de Network drives disapear one after the other on de left side in the Navigation tree. after that most of the
drives came back and are visible again. normally one drive is missing. not the same drive, every time another one. all Network drives are mounted by GPO Policies (GPP). If this happens a user had to Close his Citrix session and start a new one, until the drives
disapear netx time.
Someone of you ever see somithing like this? we didnt understand the Situation and need some help to find a solution. Thanks to all of you.Hi,
>>If this happens a user had to Close his Citrix session and start a new one, until the drives disapear netx time.
When the drives disappear, are we able to access the network shares via UNC path? Besides, check event logs to see if some related events were logged. Moreover, if we use anti-virus software, we can try to disable it to have
a check. In addition, for this involves third party product, it's also recommended that we contact vendor support to see if they can provide some suggestions.

Network Drive Reconnect after Network reconnects?
I use hamachi to mount a network drive on my home server (which I back up files to, etc.) on my OSX 10.8.1 MBP.
The problem is that I'm constantly having to connect / reconnect to the wireless network at work (just because of how much I move around between locations at work), which means I'm constantly having issues crop up due to the fact that even though I don't have a wireless connection yet my computer is trying to reconnect to the network drive.
So the basic series of events should be:
Establish wireless connection -> establish connection to server -> mount drive
Is there any way to make sure that this happens in this order rather than the computer trying to do it all at once and throwing me errors?
If that's not possible, is there at least a way to have the computer periodically check and try to mount the network drive (right now, after the first attempt if it can't it gives up, says something along the line of "can't find network location" and I have to manually mount it)?
I already have it set up so that the drive mounts automatically upon login (Accounts -> Login Items, etc.), but that seems to only apply after a system reboot.
thanksI find it best to NOT Automount them at all, but have a quick & easy Dynamic Mount system by first deleting those Login Items, then...
What I would do is, once you get the Icons mounted on the Desktop, is to drag them them to the Dock between Applications & Trash, or if you have many and just want a neat Popup Menu, then create a New Folder on the Desktop, drag those Mounted Icons to that Folder, (once there you can even rename them to whatever you wish), then drag that Folder to the Dock between Applications & Trash.
And of course I'd have 3 New Locations in Locations...
One called Hpme, one called Work, and one called All Off...

Impossible to reconnect to home WIFI Network
Hi,
I bought a Blackberry Q5 about a month ago, replacing my old Blackberry Curve. I actually have a number of problems with this phone, but more about those later - my big problem is the wifi connection. When I first activated the phone I was able to connect to my home WIFI network without any difficulty - entered the WEP key and that was it. This morning my phone suddenly informed me that it had disconnected me from my saved home wifi network. Impossible to reconnect, so I deleted the saved profile and tried reconnecting. When I enter the WEP key, it manages to "associate with the network" at the second attempt out of two (first attempt fails usually but then the Q5 tries again automatically) but I then get an error message "unable to authenticate against the network. verify saved network security settings". I have not changed ANY settings and it worked before. Note that two other computers are also connected to my WIFI router via ethernet cable (but also occasionally via wifi) and the internet connection works fine for those computers. Also, my wife has her smartphone (not a Blackberry) connected to the router via wifi and it works fine for her. Can someone please help? I don't have a 4G mobile signal at home so downloading mails and surfing the net via the mobile phone network is very slow and frustrating
Two other complaints I have re the Q5:
1) with my old Blackberry Curve I was able to log onto the local blackberry site ( http://www.blackberry.orange.fr/ ) and set the parameters of how and which email messages were sent to my Blackberry - for example only messages received from certain addresses or (more importantly) only the message headers. For this latter option it was then possible to either delete unwanted messages directly from the server or only to download for SPECIFIC messages the message body with or without attachments. This feature was especially useful when travelling abroad - which I do regularly - in order to limit expensive roaming bills for downloading large amounts of unwanted or unimportant data (before enabling this feature for my Curve I had a nasty surprise of very expensive roaming bills). It seems that it is impossible to programme a Q5 to filter for specific messages and / or to download message headers only in the first instance. This is NOT progress - does anyone have any suggestions of a work around?
2) My Curve allowed me to set the alarm clock so that the phone would "wake up" and sound the alarm at the correct time even if the phone was turned off. It seems that this is impossible with a Q5 - if so, that is moronic, some of us do not want to have our phones turned on 24/7!

The lask of filtering option is very annoying, that was one of the main advantages of Blackberry mail for me. with Google searches I have read that Blackberry now offers the filtering and email header services I want, using their Blackberry Enterprise service - but i rather fear that this is an extra (paying) service and I am not a company...
BES has always existed, so that is not really a proper correlation. BES indeed is a higher level of service, available for both legacy as well as BB10 devices. But, by itself, BES offers no filtering of the type you originally requested...what BES does is provide an even tighter integration between the remote BB devices and the messaging server (e.g., Exchange, Notes, etc.).
The real difference here is BIS...BIS had filtration services. BB10 does not use BIS, and hence that service is removed.
With BB10, the solution to your situation, as you originally described it, is at the server...and this holds true if it's BES or not. On your server, you need to configure whatever rules you desire. What I do is to leave an Outlook client running all the time, and it has rules built into the client, which move messages around to different places. Any messages that are moved out of the Inbox and into some other folder are then removed from my device Inbox as well. So the result is the same as if I were using BIS -- actually, it's better...all BIS did was say to send the message to the device or not...no other processing possible...with Outlook, I can automatically move the messages around to wherever I desire them to be, and my Inbox is uncluttered on all clients that work with that same email server.

Liekwise, using the alarm feature has suited me since I thus can use my phone to wake me up instead of having to use an oldfashioned alarm clock. But if I am in a different time zone I want to be able to turn off the phone in order to avoid having someone call me at 3 am....
Oh...very simple to accomplish...simply turn off the Mobile Network connection, and you won't receive any phone calls at all. Or modify your notifications and turn the phone ringer off.

Map Network Drive to Time Capsule from WinXP Home with reconnect at logon
I bridged my TimeCapsule on a wired home network. TC provides wireless(n/g) for a Macbook & Dell Laptop, print server, and storage. MAC & PC's all access internet; The Mac & PC's were able to find a reasonable driver for the printer (not a generic); and visibility to the TC and even Mac<-->PC (all on the same WINS Workgroup; file sharing/AFP/SMB turned on) working OK.
I want to have a single drive letter mapped to a TC folder during a PC login. Using Windows Map Network Drive... I can supply \\server\share as my \\[mytimecapsulename]\[path to folder] and then I use "connect as different user" and supply the username/password as specified in the AirPort Utility setup for TC. Then I click Reconnect at Logon, and Finish. Windows is "happy" and the connection is made, applications on the PC that need the folder have access to the folder according the permissions on the TC. Sweet.
Until, logoff and logon, and XP burps "not able to establish all network connections". Exploring MyComputer shows the Mapped Drive (but disconnected), double-click I'm prompted for username/password; enter it and I'm runnning.
This seems to be a workaround, and I'd like to have the reconnect work seamlessly.Thank you Steve.
I want to test my understanding. The TC password and the Windows login passwords should be the same. If there are more than one Windows users, then both of their passwords should be the same as the TC password?
My understanding of "connect using different user name" is that I supply a username that the TC understands, i.e. the username/password set up in AirPort utility, and I would not supply any of the Windows accounts/passwords. This has worked for me. I supply the time-capsule-username/password not my Windows username and the Map Network Drive makes the connection. But it doesn't make the Reconnet at logon.
So it sounds like what I should try is to change the timecapsule password to match the Windows account password of the windows user attempting to connect to the TC. Which means I'm limited to one password even if there are more than one Windows users attempting to connect.
Sound about right? I'll try it out and let you know 6-12 hrs. -
I have an Iomega 500Gb network drive (Connects via CAT5 cable to hub) It contains all of the music in my iTunes. It worked fine until I upgraded iTunes to 10.5 (and installed IOS5 / iCloud). Now, I can no longer access ANY of the music. The drive shows as a device in iTunes, but when I click it, it displays the songs for a split second, but they then disappear and I connot access them.
