Network mapped drives

Dear
We started using the wireless network at our Company but users are unable to connect to network mapped drives when using wireless ,the Wired User can see and use map drive PLEASEI NEED HELP TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE
Wireless solution items:
Controller 4404-100AP
20 WAP 1020 s
AAA-ACS
Security is WPA2 AES encryp. And TLS authentication

You gave us no details on how your clients are configured.
If you are runnning Windows clients, then you need to enable machine authentication ON THE WIRELESS CLIENT and on ACS. Since you are using TLS, you also need to have a machine certificate on the computer.
Machine authentication will allow the wireless computer to connect to the wireless network BEFORE the user logs on. In this way, login scripts and drive mappings will take place the same way they would with a wired connection.
I believe you can search Cisco.com for an article that talks about the ACS and client settings for machine auth.

Windows 7 64bit indexing network mapped drive

Hi people,
I've spent a lot of time with windows indexing on mapped drive. But without result. I've tried install hotfix, but nothing happens, Add-in works only for 32bit system, but I use 64bit. Using of symbolic link in library is without result too. I don't know,
why MS released add-in only for 32bit. Could you help me, how to solve this problem?
Thanks

File share, network mapped drives

Simple network. One Server and two clients. For a year the network was great. File shares operated perfectly. Last Tuesday windows automatically downloaded and installed security updates and the network connectivity went down.
I have discovered that if the firewalls are turned off the mapped drives will connect. When the firewalls are turned back on the mapped drives drop and communication goes bye bye. I have tried so many things. Adding new rules, opening ports
and still the network will fail when the firewalls are turned back on. If anyone has any suggestions I need help. The OS on the server is Windows Server 2008, the clients are running Windows 7 professional. The only other software on the
pc's is AVG business security edition. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank You.

Hi,
Please make sure that the TCP port 139, 445 and UDP port 137, 138 are open in the firewall.

Coldfusion Cannot Detect Network Mapping Drive

I am using CFdirectory tag and want to use mapped drive in
the directory attribute. and ColdFusion is unable to detect the
mapped drive.
Coldfusion is running as a System service.
My question is how can i create a mapped drive , so that
Coldfusion can detect it.
Thank you

Starting from Win2003 (or it happened earlier?), drives are
mapped per user (info kept in user profiles). Therefore, if you
mapped a network path to a logical drive, as, let's say,
Administrator, the service running under another account cannot see
it. Options:
1. Run service under specific account.
2. Use UNC convention: \\server\share\path

Flash won't save to a network mapped drive

We upgraded a RAID5 disk array that we map from a network
share recently. The original disk was 1.8TB the new one is a GPT
disk that is 3.6TB.
Now when we try to save files from FLASH CS3 we get errors
concerning the file or disk is read only, make sure another program
doesn't have the file open..etc..etc...
All the permissions on the disk are fine. Photoshop CS3,
Dreamweaver etc..all play fine with the large GPT disk. Anyone else
have this problem or know of a solution.
I know the first release of Encore had this problem even with
TB drives. If it was over 1,000MB it did the same.
thanks for any input.
PS: I have let the adobe updated get all the appropriate
updates for all products.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions,
Did you get the flash drive from a reliable source. There are some available on the net that show a large capacity but are only 512 mb. or 1 gb. drives that have been altered to display a much larger capacity.
Good luck,

How do I get windows 7 to Index a network mapped drive?

I would like to change the location of my lobraries in Win 7 to a network drive but every time I change the location, it says it cannot be used because it's not indexed, so how do I get a network drive to be indexed or if there is a way around it I'd accept that too.

here's a solution... that indexes the contents of a folder on another networked computer - WITHOUT MAPPING THE NETWORK...
I don't like to spend a lot of time screwing around with the "mindboggling" os conflict stuff of Microsoft with Windows 7, Vista, xp-pro, etc.
THIS WORKS FOR ME... but since I'm just an "average user," I can't always explain the "intuitive" computer solutions to problems that I come up with in a sequential "step like" manner...
This SOLUTION may be useful in resolving other networking conflict issues when you are using various hardware and software.
The TWO computers I'm using for this example: a gaming Windows 7 x64 laptop, and an XP-Pro desktop. (I also have a Vista laptop, and another desktop with XP-home... but I don't use those that often - so I don't really care if this "solution"
works on those, etc.)
Anyway, I'll tell you the steps I did, though, I don't really understand "how all this works" - it just does.
Some points first, before I give you a "step by step..."
1. I can always access ALL NETWORK LOCATIONS AND FILES from my "Windows 7 x64" laptop.
2. I often can't access all network locations, etc. from my XP-Pro desktop... sometimes I can, but I don't know what I have done to cause this... and it's not to important to me... as long as MY MAIN LAPTOP can access everything on the network all
the time. (This probably has something to do with WIN 7 being "backwardly compatible" with previous hardware/software like XP but NOT THE REVERSE, etc. So, whenever I'm doing something "involving my network" ... I try to work "top-down" from the superior
WIN 7 system, etc.
OK... here's what I did... "experts" can figure out "if this is useful to you" and whether it has "other potential uses, etc."
here's a rough sketch of the "problem I was having" and the solution.
I often jump between two computers on my network... the win7 laptop and the xp pro desktop... and I wanted to have a "notepad file" that I use as a daily "do list," and I wanted to have it's contents change and be in sync, no matter which computer I had
updated the notepad file on. Now, I know THAT CAPABILITY is simply a matter of having it shared on the network. Now I originally created the notepad file on the xp desktop. Then, I went upstairs and found the shared folder I had put it in
from the desktop... and, of course, I could "change the contents of the file in sync" between the two computers...
Now, the problem came in when (from my laptop I could NOT INDEX the "shared folder on my desktop.") I tried MAPPING the network drive, and IT WOULDN'T do it...(some kind of issue between win7 and xp, etc.)
ANOTHER COMPLETELY DIFFERENT APPROACH occurred to me... AND THAT WORKED...so here's what was involved... and it INDEXED THE "SHARED FOLDER ON THE DESKTOP COMPUTER" without "mapping the network." ...why this works... YA GOT ME... BUT IT DOES!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: (all below is for WIN 7 X64 networked with older systems like XP... this method may work in other cases, too)
1. I created a "notepad" file on my xp desktop. (called the file "bingo.txt")
2. Created a "folder" and named it "bingo" also. (made this a "shared folder" and put the "bingo.txt" file in it)
3. Did a "network locations" search for this folder and put it in with the other shared folders/files in the "desktop network" location.
4. Went upstairs to my "win7 laptop"
a. pressed the Start button and entered "favorites" (without the quotation marks) into the little "search" rectangle that appeared just above the Start button. The "Favorites" folder appeared at the top of the list. I clicked on it and
the Favorites folder opened... then I "right clicked" on the "Recent Places" folder and created a "shortcut" on my desktop.
b. Now, whenever I click on any folder or file including the "shortcut to bingo.txt (which is on my win7 laptop for quick access)...well, the NETWORKED FOLDER: "bingo" suddenly shows up in "Recent Places" as a shortcut. THESE SHORTCUTS
CAN BE DELETED since that's all they are ... JUST BE SURE you are still in the RECENT PLACES FOLDER. For example: I clicked on a "shared network folder" and almost deleted it by accident... NOT REALIZING THAT I WAS NO LONGER IN THE "Recent Places"
folder...so, make sure before you delete. It's of course OK to "select all" and delete all the shortcuts that accumulate over time in the "Recent Places" folder, etc. Also I set the "sort" on the Recent Places folder to date/time, so that the "most
recent" place I have been "is always at the top of the list.
c. So, far - and this is interesting - ONLY FOLDERS SHOW UP in the locations you visit then look for in the "Recent Places" folder. So, for example, when I click on the shortcut (on my win7 laptop) for "bingo.txt"... and then later check the
Recent Places folder... well, only the "shared network folder BINGO appears there!" (not the bingo.txt file that's in it... I didn't click on the actual folder, just the bingo.txt shortcut, but what appears in the Recent Places folder IS ONLY THE NETWORK
FOLDER)
d. Now, the mystery: (my win7 computer was "indexing" in the background all this time) WHEN I DID A SEARCH FOR "bingo" ...the "bingo.txt" file was at the top of the list... I "right clicked" on it to check the properties (thinking the index has just
located the shortcut on my desktop maybe)...BUT THE PROPERTIES ...showed the "networked location" on my desktop downstairs.
e. IN CONCLUSION: I now have the capability to INDEX folders/files ON OTHER NETWORKED COMPUTERS from my "win7 x64 laptop" WITHOUT HAVING TO MAP THE NETWORK DRIVE!!! (maybe because the index catches the "bingo folder" being CURRENTLY ACCESSED
INDIVIDUALLY when I pull up the "Bingo.txt" by clicking it's shortcut on my laptop....
you guys can play around with this... DON'T KNOW WHY the "index" didn't show "bingo.txt" (residing on my desktop downstairs) until I placed a "shortcut" to the "Recent Places" folder on my laptop desktop screen... might have something to do with the "complex
index parameters" of Win 7, etc... but I don't have the time to try an trace it down, or test it, etc.
... The win 7 indexing system MAY INDEX ANY SHARED FOLDER from another networked computer WHEN IT'S BEING ACCESSED LIVE on the win 7 computer... is probably what's happening... so I didn't have to "map the network drive" but I did have to "BE ACCESSING A
FOLDER from another computer" for it to INDEX THAT FOLDER... now I don't, for example, know whether the INDEX system of my win7 laptop (running in the background) might not index a folder IF IT WAS DOING SOMETHING ELSE IN A BRIEF TIME that I was accessing
the folder from the other computer.
Win 7 index, from my experience, does seem to give some preference to INDEXING files you have recently or are currently accessing... if that helps.
anyway,
hope this helps some

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.

Files Uploaded using Mapped Drive (UNC) to SharePoint Document library Putting a copy in Recycle Bin , odd SharePoint Behaviour

Hello All,
One of my client reported a strange behaviour.
Client mapped SharePoint document library to local share(UNC, NetWork Map Drive). Opened MS Word on local machine ,saved it to the share on his local machine. The document is saved successfully to SharePoint document library. But at the same time he can
see a file with same name in Recycle bin and the size of the document in Recycle bin is <1k.
Does any one know whether it is expected behaviour, why SharePoint putting this 1k file in Recycle bin?
I tried the same thing on my Dev Environment for both SharePoint 2010 and 2013, in both environments the behaviour is same as my client experience.
I have seen in forums some other people also experiencing this odd behaviour, but no one knows why.
any info on this much appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
i tried in my environment for 2010 and 2013. The issue doesn't occur.
Here is what i did.
1, Create a new mapped drive(\\servername\DavWWWRoot\Shared Documents) for document library
2, New a Word doc and input some string, save in the mapped drive.
3, The doc exists in the document library, but no file in Recycle Bin.
Did i miss something?
Regards,
Tom

KM4M 6374 mapped drive shutdown

KM4M MS-6734 patched bios to rev1.2
256 meg 333ddr
AMD2400xp+
WD80 gig
Installed Win98se, patched all critical updates and IDE cache and mapped drive shutdown patch. System will restart OK but will not shutdown via SHUTDOWN. Disconnect networkd drive and machine will shutdown (power off). Installed patch multiple times (read one person patched 4 times before it took). No dif. ACPI is enabled and so is IPCA.
Installed WINme, patched blah blah blah and still the same results.
Checked website for new onboad lan driver just to be sure and didnt find under on board lan...just VIA with models listed that are not 6734. Win98se hangs at Windows is shutting down screen and WINme hangs at a black screen just before power off. When reset, scandisk has to run of course.
Reinstalled OS's several times just to double check.
Happens on every similar system (6734..same set up)in different locations and lans. 6 total
Rhine drivers the problem? Any other reports of the like.

I've had numerous shutdown problems with Win98.
If removing the network mapped drive resolves the problem, then it is unlikely that the issue is with hardware. Drivers, possibly, but certainly not hardware.
You might want to check that you have all the Mobo drivers installed to latest versions. Use the device manager to check driver versions, and see if any newer revisions are available. It also may not be directly related to the LAN driver, so also check chipset drivers, or other software. Check that you are not running software that is running on your X: drive, and may not be allowing the OS to disconnect it. Last, but certainly not least, pay a visit to the Windows Update site, and check for other OS patches.
And if that doesn't solve it, get another HDD, and try a fresh install of Windows. There's no end to the list of problems that a fresh reinstall of Windows 98 has resolved for me.
Best of luck

Creating a symlink directory on a network share to a path below a mapped drive letter, local path, or UNC path does not work

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,
Matt

Hello 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.

Windows 7 network issues accessing shared/mapped drives.

I have three Thinkpads running on my home wireless network. Two are running XP. One - a new W520 is on Windows 7-64. I have no issues with the XP machines. The Win7 machine is having problems with the wireless network connection. It's not that I lose the network - the status is connected with a good signal. The problem is when retrieving or saving files from my server (running XP with shared/mapped drives) I get errors reading and writing files. Just opening the shared drive in My Computer on occasion displays nothing, as if it knows the drive is there, but can't read it. Sometimes it displays the folders but then will take an extremely long time if I try to open a folder. Another issue is if I try to print, the job rarely completely sends to the printer. If I plug in directly to the printer via USB, the file prints.
This has to be an issue with Windows 7 and something in the wireless setup, doesn't it?
I've searched for solutions all over the network. It seems this is a common Win7 problem with no well defined solution. I've had the issue since the very first day, but today, I'm just about ready to backrev to XP after losing 2 hours of work on a Photoshop file!
To date (over the last month) this is what I've done:
Disabled the IP6 stack.
Turned off power management to shutdown the wireless card.
Updated to the latest Intel drivers for the Ultimate-N 6300 AGN adapter (direct from Intel.)
Today, I ran this, netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled but still have the network drive issue plus am having issues browsing web pages. It's getting worse instead of better.
Anyone familiar with this issue on a Thinkpad with known solutions or recommendations?
Thank you!

Editing Configuration.MOF For Network Printers/Mapped Drives SCCM 2012?

Question is in Configuration Manager 2007 I would edit the SMS Def MOF file and then run Datashift.vbs on all the clients to add a WMI class for mapped drives for inventory. So most of my clients that I upgraded to 2012 already have that class added
to WMI. I just need to figure out what I need to do on the new server and Configuration.MOF (since SMS Def is missing in 2012) to tell it to collect the newly added classes during hardware inventory. I see that you can click on Set Classes in the client settings
but I don't see where you can check mapped drives or network printers there.

There is no out-of-box solution to handle this task.
But try this. This has worked for us really well. We've got 22000 machines inventoried.
