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:

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.

  • Find Friends app keeps saying "location not available" on iOS7?

    After I updated my 4S to iOS 7, Find Friends will not actually find the person, it just pops up with "location not availble" everytime. I have tried restoring the phone, logging out then back in, and deleting the app then redownloading it and nothing has helped. The person I am trying to find says everything is working well on their end. Help!

    My family has 5 iphone 5s's. Two of my kids and myself just upgraded from iOS6 to iOS7. Now, on my Find Friends app, their locations only say Location Not Available. However my wife and and my other child, still on iOS6, their locations immediately appear.
    In talking with my two kids that are on iOS7, I have 100% confirmed that THE FIND FRIENDS APP MUST BE OPEN in order for their location to be found. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. Furthermore, my kids will not leave the Find Friends app open because it drains their batteries at an extremely fast rate. This is a new issue for iOS7.
    By confirm I mean this. On a hunch I called them when their location said not available, and confirmed that their Find Friends app was closed. I asked them to launch their Find Friends app on their phones. I then checked my Find Friends, and suddenly their locations were visible. I then had them close their Find Friend app, and sure enough, my Find Friends immediately showed their location as Not Available.
    THIS BEHAVIOR WAS NEVER PRESENT IN iOS6. NEVER!. I have also 100% confirmed that my wife's phone, beside me as as I type this, has all apps closed, including Find Friends. However her location immediately appears in my Find Friends list.
    I certainly hope that Apple will fix this immediately. I bought the five iPhone 5s's over a year ago, almost exclusively because of the Find Friends app, so I could keep track of my kids. Never once did we have trouble with Find Friends. And the app did not consume much battery, even when it was open.

  • HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Hi,
    I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date.  All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue.  If that doesn't work, let me know.

  • Merant Driver is not available for Windows 7 to create data warehouse table

    Hi All,
    I had installed Database, OBIA, DAC and Informatica in windows 7 64 bit. Installation is successful.
    To create data warehouse tables through DAC, we need merant driver. But Merant driver is not available in windows 64bit.
    I followed the below procedue to create a merant driver.
    "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
    Executed odbcad32.exe, and I found the merant driver in the list, when i try to create DSN, I am getting the following error.
    Specified Driver could not be loaded due to system error 193: (Oracle Merant Driver in DAC 10g_Oracle-OH1635326477, c:\orahome\10gR3_1\bifoundation\dac\utilities\DataDirectODBC\seor820.dll).
    Can any one please provide me the solution.
    Regards,
    Kumar

    I know the docs say you must use the merant driver however did you try a normal oracle odbc connnection. I am sure i did this in the past.
    BTW I hope this is just your laptop and you are playing around. I do'nt think Windows 7 is a supported environment. You should consider a supported platform for production and maybe a virtual machine on your windows 7 machine in development so you can practice the install.

  • When I try to download the latest version of itunes, it states a certairn drive is not available?

  • HT204407 "Location Not Available" label for one friend and they have the same result for finding me. The issue has not been resolved from reading this article.

    I always get 'Location Not Available' for one of my contacts in the Find My Friends app. This same friend get's the same message when trying to find me. The app and the iOS software on both iPhones is up to date, the dates and time on both iPhones are correct and both iPhones are in the UK where the Find my Friends service works fine.
    There is one condition in which we can see where each other is and that is by having the app open on both phones, this is unlike all my other  contacts within the Fnd my Friends app where I can see where they are despite the app not being open on their devices. Can anyone help? It's really bugging us.

    For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may
    help resolve your problems.
    1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
    2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and
    then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at
    a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from
    completing.
    a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to
    reattach to the cloud.
    b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no
    ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

    I have tried the following things but none worked.
    1. Checked the Message Mappings and reimported it in the Operation Mapping.
    2. Deleted and created the Operation Mapping again.
    3. Cleared the SLD Cache.

    5. Reimported the ZBAPI.
    6. Deleted all the IR and ID objects and created it once again after performing the Cache refresh.
    Note: I had one observation that the newly created Operation Mapping object had the same object ID as that of the deleted one.

  • All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available".

    All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available."Is anyone else having this problem?  Maybe because of the inclimate weather?

    This was the only thing that actually worked. I have 3 iPhones, and 3 iPods on my account. All of the devices could see and use our contacts and calendars, except mine all of a sudden. They were there yesterday, and today I went to use my contacts, and poof, gone@!
    My settings had been changed somehow, so that my cloud sync was off for calendars, notes, and contacts. I never did this, and my phone is password locked, so my kids couldnt have. I went and turned them all back on, but they wouldnt show any synced data, even though I was plugged in and on my home wifi.
    I tried this trick, but starting a new iMessage, add a contact, go and add/edit a contact, and suddenly I could see all the data. All my contacts were there to choose from to edit an existing contact. I edited something simple, and then saved it, backed out, checked my contacts data and calendars, and they magically appeared again.
    This seems to be a problem in iOS as the data was apparently there, but not showing. Now I am good. Thanks a ton for the tip!!!!

  • Location not available Find Friend error

    What is wrong????
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Who's location is not available? If you are opening FF and it is showing a friend's location is not available, it would not be a problem for you?

  • Mapped drives do not open after connecting via Cisco VPN Client

    I have an issue when I initially connect to my remote network, I cannot get to any mapped drive unless I wait a few minutes for the VPN connect to mature. To explain further, I have to wait 2-4 minutes after connecting to the VPN for me to actually connect to those drives.
    The error that pops up is:
    "An error occurred while reconnecting to DriveLetter: to \\Server\sharedDrive\    Microsoft WIndows Network: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.
    Now, immediately after  I connect, I am able to successfully ping the server that hosts those folder locations but for some reason I cannot get to the server via UNC/shared drives until I wait a few minutes after connecting. 
    Below is the list of error logs I get when attempting to connect to the mapped drives during those first few minutes of connectivity:

    Any ideas on what it could be?

    I have a client that is showing a similar issue.. Windows 7 computer using Cisco IPSec client terminating on a Cisco 881 Router.  I can ping the server by IP, Name and even access the drive from the start menu option, but not the mapped drive.  Currently I am looking into this from a offline file issue in windows, but ran across this post and was wondering if you had figured this out?  I am going to try the following and will post back if that resolves it.
    Doing some research I found that Windows 7 and Vista both have what’s called “slow link mode”.  The behavior is that if the latency of the network connection exceeds 80 milliseconds (ms), the system will transition the files to “offline mode”.  The 80 ms value is configurable using a local group policy edit.
    Open Group policy (start -> run -> gpedit.msc)
    Expand “Computer Configuration”
    Expand “Administrative Templates”
    Expand “Network”
    Click on “Offline Files”
    Locate “Configure slow-link mode”
    This policy can either be disabled or set to a higher value for slower connections.

  • Storage Spaces -error Location not available.

    I have had Storage spaces running for a couple of weeks. 4 drives 3tb each, same make/model. Have them pooled into a striped "raid 5" setup thru storage spaces.  I travel and do some shift work. I frequently try to get access to them remotely
    and informed that the drive pool is not accessible.  So when I get home I attempt to access it locally with same issue.
    I see my pool (G:) in my drive list, I click on it no problem,  can see 1st directory, and can go into 1 folder.  If I try to do anything in that folder, go to any other folders or attempt to use any files in the root, it sits and waits and looks
    like it is searching. I hear no drives spinning up and after about 2 minutes I get a pop up that says location not accessible.
    In order to access the information, I need to shut computer down and reboot. Not only is this a bother, but sometimes not available remotely.
    Are the drives going to sleep and not waking up?
    Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
    Chris

    Hello Chris,
    Do you mean that you use a RAID5 drive to create a storage space, and it worked for weeks and now has the issue about ‘location not accessible’?
    Please share us the whole error message and a screenshot is preferred.
    Based on my test, I can normally create a storage space with 3 VHD. And it work with no accessible issue.
    Please try to change ownership and permission of the drive and check if the issue still exists.
    For more information about taking ownership, please take a look at the following article.

  • SIRI directions and locations NOT available in CANADA??? ***!!!

    Hello Apple??? Canada is not a third world country, there actually is civilization up here. I bought the 4S SPECIFICALLY for the location/direction available thru SIRI. So when I tried finding a Starbuck's - "Sorry, I can't look for places in Canada" I sure hope this is temporary! Not just Starbuck's, but directions, weather information, many commands. Disappointing iPhone

    wilmat09, I believe you are missing the point of most of the frustrated complaints on this page. Siri may well be in beta stage, but it was used by Apple as main selling point for people around the world to by the 4S, and aside from small print here and there in obscure places, it was not mentioned in any of the publicities or in any of the keynotes that it was in beta. Also, why not simply generate the response that Siri can ONLY provide locations in the US ? I am using my 4S in Belgium and at first I thought the issue was due to Belgium being a small country, probably not significant enough for the first wave of implementation ... later I experienced same issue in France and UK and am now reading that basically the only country where it works is US.
    I have been an apple product fan and user since 1980 (Apple II), and will remain one of the millions of "unpaid apple advocates" , but in the 31 years of using and buying Apple products, I have NEVER known Apple to roll out their main product sales argument (in this case Siri) in beta so clumsily.
    In addition, when going through the customer survey I received after purchasing the 4S, I found some very generic (4 in total) questions with tick boxes to reply to, and no possibility at all to provide real meaningful feedback (also a first in my experience with Apple), and after sending a formal e-mail message to the Apple customer service with my frustrations have never received a reply.
    Not sure if it is a co-incidence or if it is just me imagining things, but customer satisfaction orientation seems to have taken a turn for the worse with the roll-out of the 4S ... which more or less co-incides with losing Steve Jobs ... I hope this is not going to be the way of the future for Apple.
