Mapped drives
Help needed please :(
Recently I had to revert back to using a file share on a server (using Windows server 2k12 standard) that had not been used for a few weeks.
Users normally just map a drive to the shared folders using their credentials and are able to access fine, Since going back to this server some users get "Access Denied" EM.
From what I can see all permissions appear correct, no Domain passwords are expired or anything, Any Admin account can map a drive to the share fine and a handful of users are able to but the rest can not? Any ideas??
Hi,
Please try to access the file share using UNC path to see if users get the same issue. What is the operate system of your client computer? In the meantime, please refer to the similar threads below to see if it helps:

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. -
Program running under UAC prompt hides mapped drives
I have a user on Windows 7 with a non-admin account who runs a program that pops up the UAC. She clicks yes and the program runs. However, since the UAC was involved, it is running with a different token than what she logged into the computer with.
This means that the program doesn't see her mapped drives when doing a File | Open. She has to navigate to the data folder on the server via Network. Needless to say this is cumbersome and inefficient.
What can I do so that the program sees her mapped drives? I don't know of a way to get rid of the UAC except to turn off UAC which I do not want to do.
JonathanHi Jonathan,
I hope this might help you.
Running Your App with Administrator Privileges
There are times that you may need administrator privileges for an application. You may write code that directly interacts with a piece of hardware or an app that sets machine-wide settings in HKLM. When possible, you should design your apps to limit the
need for admin privileges to narrow sections of code, or communicate to an application started with full administrator privileges. Aside from MSI-based elevation, there are two ways to create processes with a user's full administrator token. The Application
Information Service (AIS) will check during process creation and during the creation of a COM object using the CoCreateAsAdmin moniker to see if the
binaries require administrator privilege. It is important to note that the elevation occurs at the time of process creation. The process token never has privileges or group membership added during run time, only when it is
created.

Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
###Mapped drive letters don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a hardlink:
mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
dir .\test_sharedir
#Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
#File Not Found
UNC paths don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a symlink:
mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
dir .\test_dirunc
#Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
#File Not Found
I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
Are my assumptions above correct?
We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\). I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
"s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server]. How do I do this?
Thanks,
MattHello Mandy,
The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks. I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
You will see the following:
I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD. The CIFS server service does not appear
to operate like this.
1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
Thanks for your time,
Matt Brown
[UPDATE]
Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC. -
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. -
When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only? Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive. My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space. Any advice out there? Thanks in advance for your help!
I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
Dropbox's forum has this too…
https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works. -
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.

Media shares auto mapping drive in Windows 8.1 Pro
What setting in Windows 8.1 is causing the automatic mapping of several shared folders named media?
I work in a university environment with staff, faculty, and students using wired and wireless networks. I have a user with a Surface Pro 3 that has started to automatically map, what seems like random addresses on the wireless network, to file shares
named media. When I setup these computers for the users I always have the media sharing turned off and I've never had cause to use it myself so I'm only a little familiar with what the settings do. I've tried to change my own settings to reproduce
the problem but I can't seem to find the correct setting so that I can reverse it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,Hi Pete de Pistola,
If your machine keeps reconnecting to a map drive, from driver path you should be able to track down which machine is shearing folder. Also since it is a Wifi network we wonder if users could use their own device which is not configured by administrator.
As I know to prevent file sharing, group policy might be the only option.
Enable or disable File Sharing with Group Policy

How to add an image from mapped drives?
Hi all,
Currently I've a BSP service running some picture are stored within the service directory (using import MIME) in the WEBAS like ...
http://webhost/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zris/GFX/logo.gif
but now how can I display in the same service pictures taken from a mapped drive ? (ie: l:\pictures\logo.gif) without importing them into the WEBAS service?
Is there a possibility to create a virtual directory in the service mapped to the l:\pictures or something like that?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
ErikHi all thanks for your answers,
<img src="file://c/images/pictureOfTheDay.JPG">
that's what I was using during my test, but the thing is that it need to have the drive mapped locally on the computer running the browser. Now I just want to map those drives on the WAS.
about installing apache on the file server, well I'm in a big corporate ... so you know ... security, policies, dmz etc.. etc...
I will check out the parameter.

Got a Maps query? Check our Maps FAQ'sSorry, I'd like to unresolve this. The workaround mentioned is not a solution.
I travel to loads of places by motorcycle, and going off the beaten track is wonderful. Since I upgraded My E6-00 and C7-00 to a Lumia 920, I'm back to allowing the SatNav (phone) to decide where I go. Boring dual carriageways and bypasses are now my natural habitat - bah humbug. Afterall, the phone is in my pocket (safe from weather), headphones in my helmet - I can't constantly look at a map. Having multiple 'favourites' and planning from one to the next isn't workable. Fair enough the Lumia 920 is usable with gloves on (major plus for a biker, come on you marketing people!) but I don't fancy re-routing all the time by the side of a road.
I'm also planning a charity cycle ride over 100s of miles this Summer, and while that can be done in BikeRouteToaster, Google Maps etc, there is no import function into 'HERE' that I can see. It's impossible to plan a route on the device itself. Yes it can route walker (I can't seem to get turn by turn working for that, but nevermind), public transport and car, I have an option to avoid motorways etc, but cycle route planning needs consideration for height metres, unpaved/paved roads (Google StreetView etc used a lot to find a Sustrans route is actually unfit for road bikes) etc. So.. Importing a route planned elsewhere (gpx, kml or something) would be a real alternative, or a workaround. Asking the device to do its own planning from one point to another really isn't workable.

Reading files from a mapped drive
Hello,
I am trying to pull image files off of a network share in Oracle Forms.
Everytime I do this, I get error FRM-47109 Cannot locate image file..... i
have tried accessing this drive with 2 methods:
1. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE(:datablock.imagelocation ||
:datablock.filename || '.tif', 'ANY', BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM);
2. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE('\\server\images\'
||:CRASH_IMAGES.folder || '\' || :crash_images.docno ||'.tif',
'ANY', 'BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM');
Both of these calls work on the development side where the T:\ drive is mapped.
When the form is put on the production server with the same T:\ drive mapping,
the image is unable to be located.
I have also found Microsoft article Q122702, which explains how network shares
are distributed to services. I have edited the registry key
RestrictNullSessAccess to a value of 0, and remapped the drive using: NET USE
T: \\server\images /user:Administrator password.
None of this has worked for me so far, and I have been informed of possible
issues with forms and mapped network drives. Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix?
Thanks,
JordanI'm not too familiar with Windows user accounts.
I'm having this problem of not being able to read files from a mapped drive.
Using 10.1.2 Forms Service on a XP machine.
How do i check to see which user is running the forms service and/or how do I change the settings a user has access to?
Check in server-info and User/Group: #-1(1)/1, what the heck??

Software install in Windows 7 doesn't see mapped drives
I've looked through the related topics that came up when I started to write this, but I am not sure they answer my questions fully.
I am trying to install software on a Windows 7 box as the Administrator. My mapped drives are fine, I can see them and they are not dropping off to the middle of nowhere. What is happening though is that when I attempt to install software, the only thing
that is showing is my local drives, not my networked drives. My work around so far is do it via UNC.
Is there an easy fix for this or do I have to continue with my workaround of doing installs via UNC?Hi,
I would like to confirm that does this issue occur on all the software you tried to install?
You may try to
disable User Account Control (UAC) to test the issue.
If it does not work, I also would like to suggest you enable NetBIOS to test the issue.
1. Click "Start", input "NCPA.CPL" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
2. Right click on the connection that you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".
3. Click Continue button to verify the administrator permission.
4. Click to select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", and then click "Properties".
5. Click "Advanced" button in the open window. On the "WINS" tab, click to select "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP", and then click "OK" to save the setting.
If the issue persists, I also would like to suggest you disable the antivirus program and test the issue in
Clean Boot.
What is the result?

We have 2 load balanced application servers that map drives with programs on them for users from a central server that are giving the warning "We can't verify who created this file. Are you sure you want to run this file?". Basically how it works
is a user logs in to one or the other application servers (for example, 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2) and runs a log on script that maps an L:\ drive to the users folder on the central storage server (10.0.0.100). When the user goes to launch the .exe from the L:\
drive it presents that warning.
I've looked around and have seen recommendations that you need to add the site to the local intranet zone for IE, but when I try to add L:\ it tells me that I have entered an invalid sequence. It appears that you can only put network shares in that location,
which is not how we're mapping the drive.
Has anyone run in to this before and knows how to resolve it?
Thanks!Hi,
A mapped drive letter is not supported so please try to input \\server or \\server\folder to see if it will help.

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?
IanI 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.

E4200 router, wmp600n wireless adapters and mapped drives with wpa2 don't work!
Sigh
I have a file server running windows 2003 and five computers (1 windows 7, 4 windows xp-sp3).
There are two shares on the server.
When the router is setup with wpa2, three of the windows xp machines will have problems with mapped drives. Directly after the drives are mapped, everything works, but 10 or so hours later, users can no longer access these mapped drives and there is no way to reconnect them it seems.
The other two machines (windows 7 and one windows xp machine) have no problems whatsoever.
The only thing that the three computers have in common is that they are also sharing a printer (an hp j4680) attached to one windows xp machine (not the server).
If I set everything to wpa, everything works fine, but of course my wireless network speeds drop to 56mbps.
Thoughts?Peanut, I appreciate your effort, but I don't think you truly understand what is going on.
FWIW and for those experiencing similar oddities, On a mixed network of Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 7 machines, several Windows XP machines would on boot up decide that the router was the master browser. This made file shares on the server inaccessible to these machines. All machines were using wmp600n adapters.
All computers had excellent signal strength and could access the internet without fail.
What was not immediately evident to me was I was also having email issues where certain XP machines could not receive or send (sometimes one, sometimes both) pop email. I suspected it was a port blocking issue by the ISP since this problem was intermittent.
What was clear though is that in each of the machines that exhibited the problem that computer was seeing the browser as the browser master. So finally, I swapped out the router with another branded router. This is not the only case of this router behaving this way--in my searches I have run into several other people who have had issues with file sharing so I don't know if it is a model deficiency or firmware issue.
All I know is the all the problems went away with the router switch. File shares work. Email works.
So, I got a bad router that appeared to function properly--assuming this is not the case with other e4200s. I will know after RMAing this one.
