Map network drive from windows 98 to server 2008 R2

Guys I have some old Windows 98 systems these 98 systems are attached to pieces of equipment on the warehouse floor. So with that said there is no way to upgrade them. I would like to map a network drive from these 98 systems to a 2008 R2 file server.
I have played around with LM compatibility mode but I'm not having much luck. Still when I try to access a share on a 2008 R2 box I'm being asked to entire a password. On the old 2003 server all I had to do was create a local account with the same username
and password on the 2003 server. So if anyone's done this I would be curious in knowing more. BTW the member server I'm trying to connect to is in a domain and the 98 box is in a workgroup.

Hi,
As Windows 98 is such an old system, I may make mistake on suggestions I provided so please just have a try.
For old client system like Windows XP, in a workgroup environment we have 2 mentions to share folders.
1. As you said, create local account with same password on each computers so they can access each other with that account.
2. Share folders to Everyone (including Guest) and enable Guest account on computers which going to access.
You can try to enable Guest account and set a same password on each computer as a test.
Also in Windows XP we need to modify "Simple File Sharing" option. I cannot confirm if it exists on Windows 98 system but if it does, enable it when trying suggestion 2 and disable it when trying suggestion 1.

Location is not available to mapped network drive in Windows 8 using Synology NAS

Original Thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/location-is-not-available-to-mapped-network-drive/ca7eac5c-0e3d-494b-b488-e245978e4db9
I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 standard edition. I have come across a problem when using the option for mapped network drives. Under Windows 7 I would normally map a network drive (Synology NAS) and I could access all files, copy and paste, install
apps, and link media, all from within the mapped network drive. However, under Windows 8.1 I have come across a couple of problems.
1. When I try to copy a file from my "Mapped Network Drive" to the C:\Drive (OS Boot Drive), I get the following error,
"E:\ is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. if the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the
location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted."
However, if I copy a file from the "NETWORK/Network Location" the file copies just fine with no problems. And, If I also copy a file from a "Added Network Location" the file also copies just fine with no problems. And, if I copy a file from
my "Mapped Network Drive" to my D:\Drive (non OS Drive), the file copies just fine with no problems.
2. When I try to install apps from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will sometimes install and sometimes not (I am also choosing the option to run the programs as Administrator). Again if I try to install using either the "NETWORK/Network Location"
or an "Added Network Location" the apps install just fine with no problems.
3. When I link media (music or videos) from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will work but once I reboot they no longer work as if they have lost the file path or link of the original source location.
4. When I use FireFox (browser) and I set my default download dir to my "Mapped Network Drive" it will work once originally set it but after I reboot, it no longer works. However, again if I set the default download dir to either the "NETWORK/Network
Location" or an "Added Network Location" the default download dir works fine even after reboot.
While I am able to access my network drive using any of the three options, "Mapped Network Drive", "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network Location" but only "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network
Location"appear to be reliable. Tbh I would prefer to be able to use my "Mapped Network Drive" in Windows 8 as I have been able to under Windows 7.
More info:
I currently have UAC set to "Never Notify".
I also have Windows 8.1 installed on three different systems and all of them give me the same exact problems. One of the systems is a completely clean install with no 3rd party apps installed.
Just so its clear I am able to access the "Mapped Network Drive" but unfortunately this method of access appears to be unreliable in Windows 8 but in Windows 7 it works flawlessly.
If I map a network drive from another pc running windows 7 or 8, I can access and use the mapped drive with no problems. This problem appears to be related to the Synology NAS devices and I have researched the Synology forums but only found one thread about
the problem, here:
http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=76687
I have searched several forums and attempted to pick the brains of my local computer shops for any incite on this problem but I have been unable to find a solution/fix.
Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, we can temporarily disable the firewall to see whether the issue persists.
For this issue seems related to the Synology NAS devices, in order to get professional help regarding the product, we can contact the vendor support to see whether the issue
can be fixed.

Map Network drive in Windows 8.1

Hi Guys,
I was suffering a weird problem about mapping network drive in Windows 8.1.
I ran the command "net use ...." to map a network drive and the command was running successfully. Then I used the "net use" command to check the status for the network drive mapped before, it showed good. But when I opened "my computer",
I couldn't see the network drive mapped before in the explorer.

Hi,
After you created the mapped network drive with "net use", are you able to find the mapped driver letter information in the registry HKCU\Network?
Please also try to map the network drive via GUI tool under Explorer "Map network drive" option, check the result.
for net use command, please make sure that you've set the correct parameters

I can't map a network drive from Windows 7, using the exact same settings that work fine with Vista or XP

I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium,and I can't map a network drive. I use a Cisco VPN client to connect to my University network, and then when I go to map the drive I get a message that it can't be found. I have done web research it seems that I am unable to edit the local security settings (apparently you can do this in Ultimate and Professional versions), and that this may be the culprit. Does Microsoft make some patch available? My IT people, and the tech help at HP are baffled by this. If Windows 7 Home Premium does not allow for mapping of network drives, then I'm dumping it and returning to Vista. Has anybody had similar problems?

Day 2 of trying to map a drive in Windows 7 Professional:
My journey to ____..
Begins:
I purchased Windows 7 Home 3xuser license pack for ~140 US I kep hearing friend sayhow much faster it was than Vista 32bit so I thought hey let’s “upgrade”
.. I looked up the definition of the word “upgrade” the following is what I found:
1.
To exchange a possession for one of greater value or quality; trade up.
2.
Computer Science
To replace software or hardware with an upgrade.
3.
Computer Science
a.
To replace (a software program) with a more recently released, enhanced version.
b.
To replace (a hardware device) with one that provides better performance.
So we,re all clear on what an upgrade is suppose to be. I wanted tomake sure I understood before I proceeded.
I installed a copy on my latptop Toshiba Centrino 1.83 Ghz/3 G Ram decent computer for all intent and purposes. It’s been working fine
on Vista but running slow. So I went through MS “requirements checking” to determine if my computer passed the MS test and worth of such the honor and also get MS’s blessing before I moved forward with the “upgrade”.
I proceeded with the upgrade went relatively smoothly had to uninstall a few programs but I figure that’s such a
small price to pay for such great enhancement that I will receive from my “upgrade”. Approximately 4 to 5 hours later after minimal reboots I was all set to go with my new upgraded OS. It was working as prescribed faster than Vista cleaner
interface sorta, helpful little taskbar gadgets. I was stoked that night I went to be thinking I will go to work and be a rock star on my brand newly “upgraded” computer.
Oh and by the way, I was so thrilled about Windows 7 I even upgrade my home computer as well.
I go into work and I have a very big user migration that night, I am an network engineer and I use my laptop for work I use Visio, Wireshark
and others, all the tools that help us do our job efficiently and effectively.
I sit down turn on my computer it boots faster than Vista and I’m just chomping at the bit to get going have lots of work to do. So let
go back for a minute an look at the definition of “upgrade”
“3.
Computer Science
a.
To replace (a software program) with a more recently released,
enhanced version.
b.
To replace (a hardware device) with one that provides
better performance.”
So were good on what upgrade is?
I have my computer up I have logged in (locally) not on a domain as I was not when I was on Vista OS. I wanted to attach the server to get some
files so I go to map a drive………………. Hmmmph ….. that’s weird I cannot map a drive …… let’s try this again……… hmmmph…. what this domain thing going here I
never need that before in the lesser product Vista but ok I’ll add my
\\servername\folder and my domain.org\username..... hit enter and hmmmmmph …. It ask me for my password again.. well I could have fat gingered it so I’ll type it in reallllllllly slow.. hmmmmmmph ….. again no such luck…
So I decide consult a colleague of mine who recommended I “upgrade” to Windows 7. After speaking with me he tells me oh! You need
Windows 7 Professional to do the same things you did in Vista home … I’m perplexed by this but let’s once more take a look at the word “upgrade” to “enhance
and/or make better
”. So now I’m a little perturbed by this little bit of information but I suck it up and decide I’ll drop another ~100.00 US on an “upgrade” to Professional small price to pay for such a great product.. I mean have
you seen those commercial WOW!
I make my purchase download and once “upgrade” to new “upgrade” with even more improvement over Vista and XP I mean
with those two OS’s it took me all of 5 second to map a drive SURELY Windows 7 Professional will map a drive like no one business.
After
few reboots my computer has been fully “upgraded” and ‘upgrade” again to W7 Pro and I’m off to the races ready to get to work cause my migration will be starting in a few hours and I want to be prepared. Sytsem reboots quickly
I’m logged and ready to start getting my information I so desperately need. I go to map my drive I figure I’ll help W7Pro out I’ll be proactive and use “domain.org\username” that way W7Pro
will like me and think oh! this man is brilliant. I hit enter with my correct password that I type realllllly slow. …… waited it’s thinking for sure this is it .. the anticipation is killing me the excitement is overwhelming …….
THUD my world just came crashing down ..no luck .. no login ..no mapping drives…I’m now on hour 6 of this ridiculous journey to the “upgrade” to “upgrade” ____. So now I’m left to forum because MS surely does not
think I am going to pay them $275.00 and hour for support on something that should have work right out of the box.
So I’m on day to I have tried everything on this forum page to get my mapped drive to work with nothing working for me. It appears that
if I want to use my computer I will have to rolled back to the lesser (Vista).
Just in case you’re wondering how I made it through the user migration. I had my co-worker bring me my XP computer worked like it’s
was suppose to.

Mapping Network Drives From Mac to Windows

I'm wondering if anyone else has had any success with this. I am mapping a network drive from my Mac to my PC (Windows 7). I moved all of my photos to the Mac so I want my laptop to look there for the files. I have no problem with other PC's in the house but when I try to map to the Mac I receive the following error:
"The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please enter another."
I copy and paste the address into Windows Explorer and it opens no problem. I click start and paste it into the search area, same thing, no problem. Any ideas?

If you search within this forum (search block, upper right), you will see that PAHU has answered this several times. For example, search for "UFRII windows."
Printing on OS X isn't quite as simple as on Windows - quite often, manufacturers provide drivers that are limited to the comm protocol "they want you to use," and Windows Printing (SMB) is usually not one of those. In fact, most USB printers get USB-only drivers.

Setting up network drive from Windows XP to Snow Leopard

This works fine from my XP box to my mac running Tiger. I'm trying to do the same from my Windows XP box to my mac running Snow Leopard.
On windows I do a "Map Network Drive". I select an empty drive letter ("O", for example), then I enter for the destination: "\\server\username" (where server is the name of my mac and user name is the same user on both XP and OS X. Eventually a login dialog pops up. I enter my user name (on the mac), and the password, the dialog pops up again with "server\username" and an empty password. I enter the password again, and the same thing happens.
Do I need to enable something special in the "Sharing" system prefs? I have the following check boxes checked:
File Sharing
Printer Sharing
Web Sharing
Remote Login
On the Tiger box, I have the option to select "Windows Sharing", on SL that doesn't exist in the list.
Hope someone can help. I only use the PC to scan and then I like to drag the files over to my mac from the PC. I use a network drive set on the PC desktop for that.
Thanks

I'm on the PC. I select Tools->Map Network Drive... from the file explorer. I select an available Drive letter (in this case, O:). I enter \\mymac\myuserid for the "Folder:" name. I then click on the "Finish" button. At that point it attempts to "Connect". After a few seconds I get a login dialog. That is where I enter my username and password on my mac. Actually, I am using the same user id and password on both the PC and Mac.
Why are you going to all that trouble? Here's what I do:
1 double-click the 'Network' icon on the desktop (or select 'Network' from the Start Menu)
2 locate the network share I want to use in the Network window
3 double-click that icon.
The first time I double-click it, Windows asks me for the username and password. I type that in, and click the 'remember this' checkbox. After that I never need to enter the username and password again. (Note that this should only be done on your machines on your network...)
Note that 'Network' might have a different name, 'Network Neighborhood', for example, with a different version of Windows. I'm using Win7 Pro on most of my WInBoxes. WinXP makes things slightly more complex, but not much.
I hope this explains it better.
Thanks

Map a drive from Windows 2000 to Solaris directory

Solaris is new to me. So, please forgive me if I do not have technical terms correct. We recently installed Solaris (SunOS 5.7). Is there a way to map a drive to a Solaris directory from a Windows 2000 workstation? I tried to do a NET USE j: \\123.123.123.123\home /user:root *, and I receive the following error:
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Is there something I need to do on the server to make this work? I was reading about the share command in Solaris. Is this what I need?
Thanks in advance!

You will need to install Samba on your UNIX box or install Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX...
Samba is probably easiest...both are free...

Trouble synching mapped network drive in Windows 8

Hello
I have recently bought a Sony Vaio Pro13 with Windows 8. I have also just upgraded to Windows 8.1. I have another laptop running windows 7 to which I have mapped the network drive at my place of work. On the W7 computer, files are available offline and I can
synchronize them without any problem using the VPN.
I mapped the network drive to my new laptop running windows 8 but only about half of the offline files were made available offline and it was not possible to synchronize. I then started again, by deleting the mapped drive, deleting the offline files in the
CSC folder, moved the folder elsewhere and increased the space available for offline files. I then successfully mapped the drive and copies of all offline files were available on the laptop (after about 2 hours of synchronizing!).
However, I have not been able to synchronize the files since. The VPN works for other things (e.g. subscription websites which need a VPN connection) but the network drive is showing as either offline, or when I try to synchronize, the process begins and then
I get a 'failed' message (currently 'the username or password is incorrect'). This can't be the case, or I wouldn't be on the VPN or accessing emails via Outlook - and in any case, it worked once with exactly the same credentials. I double checked in the windows
credentials as well. The sync centre also says that the drive is 'offline (background sync)'.
My IT administrators do not have any suggestions apart from removing 8 and installing 7 because they do not currently support Windows 8...
Do you have any suggestions as to why the VPN works, the files have been made available offline, but the networked drive will now not sync?
Thank you
Liz

Can't RDP From Windows 7 to Server 2008 R2 SP1

Hello,
We have a server 2008 R2 SP1 with all the latest updates installed as of today (11/12/2014) that runs terminal services.
We started upgrading our office computers to windows 7 x64 and now unable to RDP into the server. They were able to RDP for a few days and now are unable.
Once you hit connect, it asks for a username & password, and then it says configuring remote connection and after about 15-30 seconds it just says can not connect to remote computer.
I am able to RDP from windows 7 into 2003 servers.
Windows XP Computers can RDP just fine.
I went through all the articles that had the updates that needed to be removed/reinstalled for RDP to work and none of them fixed the issue.
This has been going on since Monday 11/10/2014
Any advice or assistance is greatly appreciated.

SP1 Is installed. as well as updated as of 11/12/2104
Here is the only thing that shows up in the logs on the server side:
Attempt to send connect message to Windows video subsystem failed. The relevant status code was 0xd0000001.

UTL_FILE - Write to a file on a mapped network drive

Hello,
I am trying to get the UTL_FILE package to write a file to a mapped network drive on
Windows NT. We have the following definition in the init<SID>.ora file pointing to the

vcFileName IN VARCHAR2,
vcOpenType IN VARCHAR2,
vcMessage1 IN VARCHAR2 );
END pkgUtlFileTest;

-- vcDir is the utl file directory
-- vcOpenTpye is the open type a = append, w = write or r = read
-- vcFileName is any file name you want.
-- vcmessage is the entry you want placed into the file
vcUtlFile UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
IF LOWER(vcOpenType) = 'a' OR LOWER(vcOpenType) = 'w' THEN

Can someone tell me how to get the UTL_FILE package to write a file to a network drive
on a Windows NT server?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Did you restart the database after changing the init.ora parameter? Make sure that you have this new value in v$parameter view.

Windows Server R2 stop working. Cannot map network drive with my Win 7 client.

Hi to everyone.
I had a problem for quite some time time and even i tried to solved it till now unfortunately seems unreachable.
I have a 2008 R2 server which is used as SQL 2005 server. My application program shared from the server. My win 7 client use a map network drive to access my share folder from my windows server. Suddenly my clients lost my connection. Since then i
cannot connect to the folder and i got the message
Windows cannot access \\Server\Storage
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
Details: Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found.
I check out my share permissions, all seems ok. I also check out firewall, services, TCP/IP, share folders, really almost everything but still nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the problem.

Yes what seems to happened is due to virus infections.
This problem started 2 weeks a go. First i had network connection error with my client. Them my application had respond errors. Finally i lost my network drive.
I realize that the problem was due to virus. My old antivirus program doesn't s scan any threats so i uninstalled it, and i installed Panta antivirus and i clean up my server and my clients from virus. I am sure that both are clean from virus. My antivirus
program runs every day with no traces of infections.
Since then i cannot see my share folders on my server side and i cannot map network drive.
One thing that i want to avoid is re-installation of windows server 2008 R2.
Can anyone help about this
Thanks

thanks

Hi,
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
You can find detailed information in the following link

Can't map network drive (1204) The specified network provider name is invalid, Windows 8.1 Webdrive 10.2

I have just 'upgraded' from windows 8 to 8.1.
I use Webdrive 10.2 to map a drive to a secure ftp server.
Worked fine in Windows 8, does not work now I have upgraded.
When I try to initiate the connection from Webdrive I get a really helpful message...
"Can't map network drive (1204) The specified network provider name is invalid"
I cannot see where I can downgrade back to Windows 8 from 8.1.
Any solutions anyone?
Thanks.

Windows explorer keeps computing items after accessing a mapped network drive

Our organization has decided to upgrade to windows 7 but we are running into a problem with windows explorer green progress bar hanging after accessing a mapped network drive. When you try to go back to computer or access the control panel after going
3 or more folders deep into the mapped drive, windows explorer just keeps searching.
When you expand the arrow in the address bar it states that it is computing items and never stops.
The only way around this is to right click on libraries and select reset back to defaults and everything is back to normal.
We are deploying this image of windows 7 to over a 1000 computers and we cannot have this problem lingering, does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue. This does not happen in Windows XP.
We have tried to turn off windows search and remote differential compression and this does work but the problem is that you lose all search capabilities in windows. So windows search needs to be enabled. We also tried to adjust the MTU, change GP settings,
and nothing seems to work except to turn windows search off or reset libraries back to default.
We also did some research online and there are so many people experiencing the same problem, with no resolution expect they have to go back to Windows XP. That is not an option for us.
Please help us we would really greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
The issue could be related to searching and indexing feature in Windows 7. I suggest rebuilding the indexing files.
Click Start -> Type
indexing options in the search box -> Advanced -> Index Settings tab-> Rebuild buttion.
For more information, you can refer to:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
If the issue persists, you can perform the following troubleshooting steps.
1. Go to update your network adapter drivers and BIOS from manufacture's site manually.
2. If any router is involved, please update the firmware.
3. Perform a System File Checker.

I have RDS set up and everything seems to work ok, view DSN, files, etc on my local server.
In the URL prefix section I even created a map:
Local Path: N:\project,
URL prefix: http://localhost:8500/project/
There is no FTP set up on the CF9 server.
The problem is that when I try to preview a file that I am working on from N:\project, it doesn't show on my local server. The previewing part works if I manually move the file to CF9. But it is the automatic uploading (or moving) of the file to the local CF9 that doesn't seem to work.
BTW, I have a similar set up in DreamWeaver, where I am editing the same project (or site in this case) off of N:\project, uploading to the same local CF9 server through RDS, and it works fine.
I know that if in CF Builder you move the project to under the web root it will work but that would not work for us, since we need to keep the project source files on a network drive for sharing/backup purposes.
Has anyone been able to successfully preview source files from a network drive on a local CF9 server?
Thanks in advance,

Hi again,
After doing some more googling I realize that for files to be previewed the MUST be under wwwroot. This wasn't too clear in the CF documentation.
So my new question is:
Is there are way, once I save a file to automatically copy it from one location(N:\project) to another (c:/ColdFusion9/wwwroot/project)?
I think there is a way to do it with Ant or some sort of Eclipse feature, but I am not too familiar with either. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
