Mapping drives from server core

Hi,
Is mapping drives drives from server core not supported? See the two commands below. One on the server with gui works fine and the one on server core does not.
PS C:\Users\administrator.WBAD> New-PSDrive –Name W –PSProvider FileSystem -root \\192.168.1.101\HVBackup
Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root
CurrentLocation
W FileSystem \\192.168.1.101\HVBackup
PS C:\Users\administrator.WBAD> Enter-PSSession hv1
[hv1]: PS C:\Users\administrator.WBAD\Documents> New-PSDrive –Name W –PSProvider FileSystem -root \\192.168.1.101\HVBackup
New-PSDrive : The specified drive root "\\192.168.1.101\HVBackup" either does not exist, or it is not a folder.
+ CategoryInfo : ReadError: (W:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveRootError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand
Thanks in advance

Hi Will,
You can use the command prompt command to map to a network drive. Please use the below command.
net use <DriveName>: \\<RemotePath>\<Shared_drive_name> /persistent:yes /user:<username> *
Let me know whether this works or not.
Regards, Alan.

Migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new san hardware

We are getting ready to migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on an iscsi san to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on a new iscsi san.
I've been searching for a "best practices" article for this but have been coming up short. The information I have found either pertains to migrating from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 with failover cluster volumes on the same hardware, or migrating
to different hardware without failover cluster volumes.
If there is anyone out there that has completed a similar migration, it would be great to hear any feedback you may have on your experiences.
Currently, my approach is as follows:
1. Configure new hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new SAN with new 2012 r2 hostnodes and 2012 r2 management server
2. Turn off the virtual machines on old 2008 r2 hyper-v hostnodes
3. Stop the VMMS service on the 2008 r2 hostnodes
4. copy the virtual machine files and folders over to the new failover cluster volumes
5. Import vm's into server 2012 r2 hyper-v.
Any feedback on the opertain I have in mind would be helpful.
Thank you,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Yes , I agree with that "file copy " can achieve migration.
Also you can try "copy cluster wizard " :

Will hard drive from a core duo macbook work in a core 2 duo macbook? (both white macbooks)

I want to replace my 1.83ghz core duo macbook.
Can I put the hard drive from this macbook into another macbook with a 2.4ghz core 2 duo processor?
The 1.83ghz is a white macbook. The 2.4ghz is also a white macbook.
Will it work okay this way?
I am trying to avoid doing a complete re-install.

While the two macbooks take the same hard drive(SATA), the core 2 duo will most likely have a larger hard drive(unless you replaced the original drive in your Core Duo).
Also, you cannot boot the Core 2 Duo computer with a drive from a Core Duo unless you reformat the drive and install OS X from the disks that came with the Core 2 Duo.

Cannot change from server core 2012 to gui

I have tried EVERYTHING (and I mean everything), but I cannot update from a server core 2012 to gui. I get the source error everytime. I have manually downloaded patches, and updated the source, but did not work. The server is connected to the internet.
Really wishing I could just switch to RedHat for this server, but unfortunately the acronis management server doesn't run on redhat (at least with redhat you pay for support, not just the privilege to use their shitty software, so when you have problems you
can contact them). Every article or blogs says the samething, but it does not work.

And the first thing to check for is to ensure that you installed Windows Server 2012 and not Hyper-V Server 2012. Windows Server you can update. Hyper-V Server you cannot.
What are the first few lines of output from systeminfo?

From Server Core to GUI

From a Server Core installation, I have installed Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra, Server-Gui-Shell, and restarted the machine. I have verified that these have been installed, however, I now just have MinShell as opposed to the full GUI.
I'm not sure what I've missed...

Hi,
Did you try to use windows powershell to install the feature?

Finder not loading mapped drives from Synology correctly

I have a Synology DS413J. I have two folders on my DS413J mapped:
Apples
Oranges
I want these folders to always load (hidden - which is broken too) when I boot my Mac Mini.
I have these two folders loaded in Users & Groups / Login Items with a check mark to HIDE them when they load (just map them and show them on the Finder sidebar, don't open the Finder app for each folder and clutter up my Desktop).
When my Mac boots, it only maps the first one listed - Apples. But it also opens the folder and doesn't hide it like I requested.
If I go back into Users & Groups / Login Items, instead of having Apples and Oranges folders listed, I have Apples and Apples listed.
This all worked fine in OSX 10.9.
APPLE, please FIX this!

Mapped drive to other domain on another subnet disconnects

Hi,
I have a strange situation here. Tasked to change/upgrade nearly everything about this companies IT setup. Old servers, old domain name, old switches and some old workstations with XP. I bought all new servers, switches and some new workstations. set up
all the new equipment and placed a linux box as a router between the two networks. Just for reference old is 192.168.1.0/24 and new is 10.1.1.1/24. I have the 10.1.1.0 network using DHCP and defining a static route to the 192.168.1.0 network as the router
10.1.1.254. All seems to work fine and once I move a users network cable to the new switch and join them to the new domain. I can map a drive to the old file server's 1 big share and use other credentials as 'old domain\user' and password and all is well.
The issue I am running into more and more is the mapped drive from the old network disconnects. A user will open a file and work on it and when they go to save it will say it is not available. They need to open the drive then save. On rare occasions they need
to disconnect the drive and remap it.
All of this was to try to buy some time while moving the users over one department at a time, but I am spending less time working and more time remapping drives.
Any help would be welcome.

Hi rcc9979,
Seems like your map drive lose connection frequently, for good measure, please try to access or browse the mapped drive and wait for few minutes then see if it reconnects.
And please let us know if this issue happens to all users, one Specific user or only some users in one network.
Then you could use net use command with “/persistent:yes” parameter to map network drive then see if the issue still persists.
If this happens to all users, this behavior might be caused by the systems can drop idle connections after a specified time-out period (by default, 15 minutes) to prevent wasting server resources on unused sessions.
To fix this issue we could download fix tool or by Registry Editor

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

If i try to connect to the appropriate Backup Drive on my Server Running Server Version 4 on OS X 10.10.1 i continue to have "With the connection to the Server a problem occurred, contact your System Administrator".
Any hints:
Recovery drive on iMac to be Recovered: OS X 10.10
on Server:
OS X 10.10.1 with Server Version 4 and Time Machine turned on.
Any hints?

I try this:
1. Detach Backup Drive from Server (in my Case Lacie 4 Big)
2. Mount the Drive with Disk Utility and the dmg file to the iMac to be restored
3. Start restore

List mapped drives for all users

Is there a way to list all mapped drives for every user in the domain? I'd like to export it out to csv.

Hi Ctrl,
We can use "net use" or Wmi query "Get-WmiObject Win32_MappedLogicalDisk " in powershell, however, these methods has some limitations, whether the current user which is used to remote access has Administrative privileges
to their computer can determine whether that returns anything or not.
For example, we can use Powershell Remoting to query the mapped drive from remote computers, beacause the mapped drive is to a specified user, so we also need to provide the computername and the relevant credential.
If you deployed the GPP Drive maps, you can refer to this script:
Get all GPP Drive maps in a Domain
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Anna Wang

Reports server Cannot read files from mapped drive

Hi,
Am trying to run a report from a network mapped drive under WinNT 4.0 through report server.
I get "REP-0110 Error opening or reading file" error message. After looking up the help on error, I find:
1. The file being accessed does exist
2. The login account has full privileges
with the file/directory/drive in question.
If the report to be run is on a local drive,
everything is fine.
Can anyone help me asap.
Thank you
Sundar

hello,
there are multiple things to keep in mind :
1) if you are using a mapped drive :
mapped drives are on a per-user-basis. the reports-server-service is running as a system-service by default and will not have the same mapped drives as the logged on user. in fact it fill have NO drives mapped.
what you could do is to use the UNC-path like \\servername\share\filename to adress the file
2) problems with UNC
there are some known problems using UNC to access files on remote machines in some versions of reports. pls check with oracle support services in case this causes problems.
regards,

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.

How to prevent a rdp user from mapping drives on the server ?

Hi,
User A from Domain A (using Win7 pro) is able to rdp to Server Z (Windows Server 2008) which is in Domain Z and is able to map drive.
My question is : How do I prevent User A from mapping any drive in Server Z ?
Please advise. TIA !

Hi,
if a user has access to the other share there is no way to prevent that user from mapping a drive.
However, you can remove the "map Network drive" functionality via policy, please see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms812045.aspx
That does not prevent users from mapping their drive manually using the "net use ..." command from a shell. While it is possible to restrict running of the net command, I do not recommend that (see
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b5012142-cfe9-4b24-99b9-d7ff3b84f0f4/what-security-policy-blocks-use-of-the-net-command-for-nonadmin-users?forum=winserverGP).
( What you may consider when having Shares cross-forest, you can remove that authorized users permission from the share replacing it by DOMAIN\Domain users groups, etc. So access to the share is limited instead of using a share that a user has access to.
Please Keep in mind that even when you remove the Network drives a user can still Access the resource via UNC. )

Martin

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.
