Mapping network or FTP

Hi,
I am working on IDOC-XI-File scenario where I would be using FTP as a standard but is there any possibility if we can use Network mapping. I mean client's current system is on network mapping. They map the folder to the XI server and pick up file from there.
If anyone has any idea please let me know what are the -ve and +ve points to use network mapping. And is there any differenet way to acheive the same in XI.
Regards
Rinku

Hi Rinku,
File adapter supports 2 protocols "NFS" and "FTP". FTP is to have a FTP program running on a separate server and your File adapter reads/writes data into that folder.
If you are going to use NFS, the file has to reside on XI server (application server). You can map a remote folder as a network drive in your XI server and use this option.
I would recommend you to use FTP instead of doing this.

Jai Shankar

Network, security, ftp... How to approach writing file to network from LV?

Sorry, but I don't know if this is more a LabVIEW question or a networking or ftp quesiton - how do I approach this need?
We have a machine programmed in LabVIEW and we need it to write a text file of process run data to a folder on our network. I thought we were going to be able to see the folder as mapped to a drive on the PC that is running LV. That is, I thought we'd be able to have LV create a file called Q:\Data\ThursdayAM.txt and write into it.
But the IT folks are telling me we can't do this because of security issues, something about what account the LV computer is running under. They have set something up so that Internet Explorer (not Windows Explorer) can navigate to the folder (with dialog boxes that ask for username and password), and they think they may be able to set up something using ftp. So, while a person standing there at the PC would be able to gain access to the folder, it wouldn't feel like accessing a disk drive feels.
How can LabVIEW programmatically write a file under such circumstances? LV can't interact with Internet Explorer like a user, and type passwords into a dialog, can it? I see things in the help system about ftp but am not experienced with it and don't know whether to start down that path; for one thing I haven't found anything about authenticating to a network under program control with ftp.
If there is a LabVIEW-centric approach to things like this, please point me in the right direction! Or, if this is really more a question about networking and security, please give me some tips about what to ask the IT group, as I'm not very up on networking.
Thanks!!

Thanks, all.
As far as things like browser controls on the Front Panel, I think that would be solving the wrong problem. I don't want users of the machine to be able to browse folders or in any other way feel like they are using Internet Explorer. From my user's point of view, the machine will say "Your data are now available at Q:\Data\ThursdayTest.txt", and they will leave, and return to their own desktop machine, and will go grab the file and use it with whatever tools they would use to grab and read any text file on the fileserver. I think I want to programmatically get the file written to the correct folder, and am trying to understand how to do that, but the way I do it will never be visible to users. So, maybe there is something to do here, but not exactly browser controls.
I will find out if I have the toolkits mentioned - thanks for pointing me at that.
What they have me do with Internet Explorer to gain access to network folders is as follows: I'm already logged into the PC as a Windows user with a general purpose Guest account, and no password, and from the point of view of our network without any security credentials. I start Internet Explorer, and type an IP address 123.123.123.123 into the address bar. I get a dialog asking me for my username and password, and I enter the username and password that I would use for my desktop w/ network access or any of the other PCs on which I am already configured as a user. Now Internet Explorer shows folders for the different network locations that the network thinks I personally have rights to, and I can read, write, copy, paste, open and so forth. When I quit Internet Explorer this PC goes back to looking to me like a PC without any network features.
The purpose of network access for this system has also been a bit confusing, but there are two main points. The big and, perhaps, only necessary thing is that my LV program can write files to a network folder, however it is that this works. It's one of the goals of this entire project to start giving users the ability to get their data without burning CDs or other sneakernet methods. As a secondary point, while I am programming and otherwise maintaining this system, I am backing up my VIs to the network, and passing things like manual docs from web sites in to the system computer for reference (its subnet does not allow internet access so I'm using my desktop machine to grab manuals and put them in the network folder), and miscellaneous other things like that. I'll probably copy this conversation into a text file when I think I have something to try, as another example. But these things are secondary conveniences - the only thing that is strictly necessary is the ability of my LV program to push data files into a network folder.

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.

Enable Recycle Bin on mapped network drives

A few years ago I discovered how redirected user profile folders in Windows get Recycle Bin protection, even when the folders are redirected to a network location. This was a huge find for me, and I used this feature to add Recycle Bin coverage to some of
my mapped network drives. I shared this information on another forum here:
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/16974-Tip-Network-Recycle-bin
Today I figured out a better way to achieve the same goal that doesn't rely on user profile folder redirection, and am sharing that information for other users to try out. You might want to take a look at these forum topics for additional information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787939(v=ws.10).aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2012/07/16/managing-the-recycle-bin-with-redirected-folders-with-vista-or-windows-7.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb882665.aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/10bfcfb9-14f3-434e-9ffa-0289b8b32e01/folder-redirection-recycle-bin
The standard disclaimer applies - this might break stuff. I've only tested in Windows 8, and my testing is limited. Try this at your own risk.
This is what I've learned (or think I've learned - I might be wrong):
Windows Vista and later store the configuration settings for the Recycle Bin for redirected user profile folders in this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder
Under this key are separate keys for each redirected folder that is protected by the Recycle Bin. The keys contain the configuration information for each protected folder, and are named to match the GUIDs for "Known Folders." A list of the Known
Folder to GUID mappings is available in one of the links above.
The registry also contains a list of "known folders" at this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions
So, I reasoned that if I could create my own custom "known folder," I could add that to the list of folders that were protected by the Recycle Bin and protect any mapped network drive I wanted. So I looked at the list of existing "known folders"
and created a key that was similar to the Documents key. I then fiddled with the values in the key until I narrowed it down to the minimum number needed to make the recycle bin work.
This .reg file will protect a mapped X: drive with a ~50GB recycle bin. You should modify the file to fit your needs:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
"RelativePath"="X:\\"
"Category"=dword:00000004
"Name"="XDrive"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
"MaxCapacity"=dword:0000c7eb
"NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000000
A few things of note:
The GUID in the above .reg file {9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF} came from this PowerShell command: "{"+[guid]::NewGUID().ToString().ToUpper()+"}"
Each "known folder"/Recycle Bin combination requires a unique GUID. If you don't want to use PowerShell to generate a GUID, you can use an online GUID generator.
I don't know what the "Category" value does, but the key I copied had it set to 4, and that works, so I didn't test any other values.
The "Name" value is required, but is not the name that will be shown if you right-click on the Recycle Bin and select properties. (At least not in my environment.) In my environment, the name that is shown is the name of the network drive.
Making this change adds a "Location" tab to the properties page of your mapped network drives. I suspect this could be removed by changing the "Category" value, but didn't bother to find out.
I only tested with mapped network drives. I suspect this would work with UNC paths as well, but I didn't bother testing.
I hope you're as excited to find this as I was to figure it out. Let me know if this works for you. I now plan to deploy the registry keys with Group Policy Preferences and will update this forum post with any information I discover.
Best regards
--Russel
Update: I am now using Group Policy Preferences to deploy the needed registry keys, and all my mapped network drives are now protected by the recycle bin.
Update 2: I have tested now with UNC paths, and this works fine. I still use mapped network drives, but if your environment requires UNC paths instead, you can use them. Note however that if you have a mapped network drive that points to a UNC path, and
you protect the UNC path with a registry change, if a user deletes a file from the mapped network drive that points to that UNC path, the file will be permanently deleted. See below for more details.

FANTASTIC work Russel !
This is extremely helpful.
I've turned your work into a Bat Script that will automatically make the reg file.
It creates a unique guid each time it is run, so no worries on overlaps.

How can I get a Powershell script which maps network drives to execute at logon to any workstation in my domain

I want to map network drives for each user when they logon to any workstation in the network. I have created and tested the PS1 script which works fine where the drives attach and used persistent parameter. I have updated the Windows 7 Professional
64-bit workstation to the latest PS 4.0 code. I have created the GPO and believe everything is assigned properly. I made changes to allow execution of local and remote signed scripts. I have forced the changes on a workstation using GPUPDATE
/force, but the drives do not connect. The GPRESULT is as follows which shows the policies are in place as shown below.
What am I missing to get the script to execute?

You picked the local sysvol path on the DC which does not exist on

The Path to the script MUST be an UNC path starting like

Second: You CANNOT execute PS1 directly (unless you change the .ps1 file

Mapped network drive appears empty for all users on one computer

We have several network drives mapped via a batch file at log in. On one particular Windows 7 computer one of these drives maps but appears empty. Manually mapping to the drive and assigning a different drive letter makes no difference but manually
mapping by entering the IP address allows viewing and accessing the contents.
The malfunctioning network drive is also using Hosted BranchCache. The following settings are set in local group policy:
(\Network\BranchCache)
Turn on BrancheCache - Enabled
Set BranchCache Hosted Cache Mode - Enabled - <servername>
Configure BranchCache for network files - Enabled - 0
The servers involved are running Windows Server 2012.
I am at a loss here and will appreciate any suggestions.
~JuniorG33k "Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?"

With Offline Files disabled the contents of the mapped drive are visible and accessible. Unfortunately, Offline Files must be enabled for BranchCache to work.
Looking in the Event Viewer at “Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\OfflineFiles\Operational” I can see that the mapped network drive transitioned to slow link during high latency but has never transitioned back.

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

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

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.

"Mapping Network Drive" equivalent in OSX?

Help! What am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to connect to a photocard reader that is built-in to my HP Photosmart 2710 (wireless) printer. My Macbook Pro happily found the printer and set itself up perfectly to print to the HP and show me the ink levels and so on. I was impressed. However trying to connect to the photocard reader is really trying my patience.
On my Windows XP PC I use "Map Network Drive" and specify "\\192.168.0.2\memory_card" and I'm able to read (and write) to the photo card in the reader.
On my Macbook, if I use "Go>Connect to Server" and then specify "192.168.0.2\memory_card" I get an error message saying that "afp://192.168.0.2\memory_card" is not available. (same happens if I use a "/" before "memory_card", and if I put "\\" or "//" before "192" too).
Any suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance.
Neil

If your windows pc maps to the printers memory card then it must be using the windows samba sharing protocol.
So on your mac use the following server address in the connect to server window
smb://192.168.0.2

Mapping network drives after logging in to VPN

We are having a problem where remote users login to their laptop with cached domain credentials using SSL VPN (the users are onsite but take their laptops home). Problem is they login to the VPN and their mapped drives don't work and they need to delete and remap their drives everytime they log in (we have to use FQDN to remap, example would be Jsmith1.anycompany.com). Any suggestions

Hi, you can enable Start Before Logon (SBL) for AnyConnect client.With SBL enabled, the user sees the AnyConnect GUI logon dialog before the Windows logon dialog
box appears. This establishes the VPN connection first. Available only for Windows platforms, Start Before Logon lets the administrator control the use of login scripts, password caching, mapping network drives to local drives, and more. You can use the SBL feature to activate the VPN as part of the logon sequence. SBL is disabled by default.
1. Create user profile, then edit attribute, for example,settiing myprofile.xml file to true:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
true
To disable SBL, set the same value to false.
You must also specify on the security appliance that you want to allow SBL. Take a look AnyConnect User manual,see the description in the section Enabling Modules for Additional AnyConnect Features(ASDM) or Enabling Modulesfor Additional AnyConnect Features (CLI) for a description of how to do this.
Pls rate if it helps.

Database Replication never fall back over MAPI Network in case of dedicate network outage

Hi All,
Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4 and every time I have an outage on dedicated network the replication stop working and all Database looses sync (content Index) and I have to manually resync all as suggested on
http://exchangeserverpro.com/cannot-activate-database-copy-content-index-catalog-files-in-failed-state/
Should be MAPI network used to replicate and sync (even if replication disabled) in case of dedicate network outage ?
I'm reading everywhere "Yes, Database copy will revert on MAPI network in case of dedicated network's outge, even if Replication is disabled on MAPI network" but it's not my case.
Everything else up and running fine but I'd like to avoid to resync manually hundreds of DB.
Any suggestion greatly appreciated.
Red.

Hi Andy,
I know the theory but replication and seeding NEVER revert on my working MAPI network
"In the event of a failure affecting the Replication network, if the MAPI network is unaffected by the
failure, log shipping and seeding operations will revert to use the MAPI network, even if the MAPI network has it's ReplicationEnabled property
set to False."
This is NOT true in my environment (Ex 2010 SP3 RU4)
Red.
Well, in your case just the indexing is failing yes when this happens? Or is all replication failing?

GPO preference not applying to map network drive?

Hello,
Server 2008 r2 GPO preference not applying to users to map network drive? When I see errors on client pc, here is the error I found?
Log Name: Application
Source: Group Policy Drive Maps
Date: 1/7/2014 1:47:33 PM
Event ID: 4098
Task Category: (2)
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Description:
The user 'S:' preference item in the 'GPO {C990F58F-E8B2-41BF-B6FD-E1BAC389C4F1}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070037 The specified network resource or device is no longer available.' This error was suppressed.
GPresult shows following message on client pc:
The following settings have applied to this object. Within this category, settings nearest the top of the report are the prevailing settings when resolving conflicts.
Winning GPO Name GPO
Result: Failure (Error Code: 0x80070037)
I also have tried using full server name in the share, IP address but no success. :(
I'm using variable %username% in share location: \\servername\share\%username%
Any idea? Please help. Thanks

Just a control question, can you actually access the users homefolder manually from the client?
Drive maps for GP Preferences is used to map drives only. It cannot create folder on the server and that’s why we see the error “0x80070037 The specified network resource or device is no longer available.”. If you'd like to use share location
with Variable, please ensure that these folders exist on the file server.
Hope this helps you!

Is it possible to refer class files by mapping network drive?

Hi,
Is it possible to refer class files from the server(By mapping network of client's server) and specify this in project setting. If yes, how?
Right now I copied all class file needed, to 'myclasses' directory of jdevhome. this approach is working fine but the page is taking 20 to 30 minutes to refresh.
What could be probable reason for taking this much time to refresh a page? what could be alternative for this?
Will the mapping of drive and referring it will improve the performance?
I am connected to server through VPN and using Window based JDeveloper.
Regards,
Adarsh

Hi Adarsh,
For the first part of your query, You can create a new Library in Project Settings to refer to the server classes.
As for the performance issue, there could be many reasons. Do you really think class loading is the only reason for the same? You might want to check in the Log window as to which process is eating up your time before loading the page.
