User document scanning recommendation? Sharepoint? Network Drive?

Anyone have some feedback, or suggestions?
We have a HP Digital Sender 8500. It supports bot scanning to network folders as well as sharepoint. I need to setup a solution here to allow an employee to easily scan & file their documents. Ease of use is most important here. They want to be able to drop some stuff in and have it scanned and accessible when needed, with as little input as possible.
I was going to create a quick task for the user on the sender, convert the docs to searchable PDFs.
I'm debating if i should store them on share point in a document library for the user, or a network drive that the user has permissions to?
Thoughts?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the documents cannot be deleted in the original folder when using the software with SharePoint library.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Which credential did you use to map the document library as network drive?
If the credential was windows logon, then I recommend to check if the documents can be deleted in the network drive which was connected to SharePoint library directly.
If the documents can be deleted in the network drive which was connected to SharePoint library, then the issue may be due to the compatibility problem between the software and WebDAV. Then you need to check the issue using third-party software provider.
Best regards.

Issue trying to use a Sharepoint document library as a network drive on which a software can create and delete content

Hi,
With my colleagues we are using a dictation/transcription software which automatically creates files, moves them from folders to folders and deletes them. Until now, all this was done on a network drive, but the drive will soon be unavailable and
we will eventually have to use a SharePoint document library instead, and I am currently testing this option.
I have created a document library (with no versioning and no check out required) and I mapped it as a drive in Windows Explorer to link the SharePoint folders with the dictation software. Everything seems to work fine except
for one thing: when the dictation software tries to move files from one folder to another, the files are pasted in the destination folder but not deleted from the original folder and an error message pops up saying "delete operation has failed".
So the softaware is able to automatically create new content in the document library but is unable to automatically delete (I can however delete manually through the software interface).
Any idea on what is causing this issue and how to solve it?
Thank you

One user can not map a network drive

Hi,
A costumer of mine is trying to map a network drive for an existing user that has always had access to the NSS6000 Network Storage Device. This still works for all other users except this one. It looks like an authentication failure. They connect thru CFIS (which means it's using the active directory).
So far i have troubleshooted the following and ran out of options half an hour ago.
I rebooted the NAS. No luck.
I made a different folder and gave the user access. And tried to connect to that. No luck. (to confirm its not related to the folder security)
I tried to map the drive on a different computer. No luck. (to confirm its not a local computer problem)
I tried to map the drive to another folder on a different server, this worked fine. (to confirm credentials are correct).
I tried to remove the user on the NSS600 and tried to update it. The user reappeared instantly in the user list on the NAS. No luck.
I fear the user table the NSS keeps is corrupted. And i can't find a way to force the NAS to recreate it based on current folder security or active directory users.
Please help, as i am in no mood to reconfigure the entire NAS.
Kind regards,
Tim Sars

Hi,
How did you map the network drive? Manually via GUI? Command? GPP? If you're using one of the above solutions, then try other solutions as a alternative way to check the result.
According to your description, If Windows remains unable to reconnect mapped Network Drive at login, then I would suggest you created a batch file with net use command, use it as an logon script, this provides an alternate way to reconnect drives on
a re-logon.
example
@echo off
net use * /delete /yes
net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name

MSI installer closes with error 1327, Invalid drive on Win 7 Ultimate when My Documents is moved to a network drive

I have several computers with Windows 7 Ultimate installed here at the Pioneer Library System. We have ~20 workstations running XP Pro on a Active Directory domain and are planning on rolling out Windows 7 this fall. I am running Windows 7 to test our programs
(have since RC1) but I am running into an issue when installing software.
The problem I am running into is that when I try to install any program that uses the MSI installer on Windows 7 , it fails with a 1327 error at the point where it is preparing to install and says "Invalid Drive H:\".
All the users in our domain have the "Home Folder" on their active directory profile set to
H:\ (which is mapped to \\PrimaryDC\user$ in the same place). We have also moved the
C:\Users\user\Documents folder to H:\ so as to keep all documents on the server where they get backed up regularly.
If I move "Documents" back to C:\Users\user\Documents the MSI installer works fine. When I look into the registry as suggested in
this thread I found that in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders " and in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders " the key "Personal" points to "H:\".
But, H:\ is a valid connected network drive. Installing from the same account on an XP computer with
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents moved to the H:\ drive works fine.
I have tried setting up another 7 machine and get exactly the same results on it.
Is there a workaround for this besides creating a admin account that does not have Documents mapped to the network drive
H:\ to use for installing programs?
Thanks

I do not have the option with some of these files to pass parameters to the MSI installer. For example, if I download the Acrobat Reader installer from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe and run AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe
it extracts the MSI file to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files and then runs it.
To reproduce this an a Windows 7 computer (does not have to be on a domain):
Prep Work:
Create a user (test1)
Create a folder on the root of C (C:\Test)
Set permissions on C:\Test to allow the test1 user to have full access to it
Share the C:\Test folder as test1 (again, set the permissions to allow the test1 user full access)
Set the "Home Folder" for the test1 user connect to Z: and point that to \\127.0.0.1\test1
Login as test1
Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
Check that it works:
Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
Note that it works
Uninstall Acrobat Reader 9.3 using "Programs and Features"
Break it:
Login as test1
Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
Go to C:\Users\test1
Right click on the Documents folder and click on properties
Click on the Location tab
Click on "Browse" and select the Z drive
Allow Windows to move the files to the new location
Check that it is broken:
Check that you have access to the new Documents folder at Z:\
Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
Note that it extracts itself to C:\Users\test1\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files
and runs the MSI installer from there
Note that after the MSI installer is started it pops up an error saying Error: 1327, Invalid drive Z:\.
I also see this with various other install programs (VMWare vSphere Client, VMWare Player and Kaspersky Antivirus for example)
Is there any reason why this should not work? Is there something that I should be doing differently?
Thanks

Anybody having trouble with InDesign CS2 documents on a network drive?

I just set up my Airport network at home (Airport Extreme base station, external hard drive plugged into the USB port, iMac G5 plugged into one of the Ethernet ports) and have run into a peculiar problem. When working on my iMac (connected vie ethernet) I open an Adobe InDesign CS2 document from the USB network drive. After a minute or so InDesign tells me something has gone wrong and it is shutting down. I immediately re-launch InDesign and it does its auto-recovery and immediately shuts down again. If I re-launch again and it asks if I want to begin auto recovery it immediately shuts down again. Only by telling it "no" to auto revoery can I break the cycle and let InDesign launch normally. However, if I then go to the file I was working on and attempt to open it, InDesign shuts down. I know that InDesign creates a temporary Lock file when you open a document. My guess is that somehow the lock file is getting corrupted and preventing InDesign from opening this file. InDesign documents are the only file types thus affected, Illustrator and Photoshop are fine. I have a second hard drive connected via Firewire and have never had any problems with files from it. My question is, what would be causing the problem on my network drive connectd to the base station? Am I the only one out there with this problem?

Office 2007 saving documents over mapped network drive takes abnormally long

On a new Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer, I have installed Office 2007. When I attempt to save documents to a mapped network drive on a peer network (saving to a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer), I have abnormally long save times. However, when I attempt
to save documents to my computer, I have no issues. I do not have any issues when opening the files over the mapped drive.
Turning off the third-party Bullguard Internet Security antivirus and firewall makes no difference. Setting as an exception the excluded mapped drive folder makes no difference either.
I have disconnected the mapped drive and re-mapped the network drive, but this makes no difference.
I had no problem with the same software on a prior computer running the same Office 2007 version. Another computer on the network has no issues either.
Please advise how to speed up the saved documents (Word, Excel).

Hi,
As the slow to save files issue, please try the suggestion below to modify the registry:

Office 365 files won't open from network drive

I can’t open any office documents from a mapped network drive. I can however go to file explorer and go straight the server directory (\\servername\share) and open any document. As a workaround, I created a shortcut on the desktop that points
to the share to allow the user to continue working.
I have checked permission and added the path in Trust Center. I know it’s not the computer because I have logged in with other users and everything works fine. I have also logged into other computer with the user that is having the problem and again
everything works. I'm convinced it some setting I'm missing within the user profile on the computer.

Network drive

I've been a long time user of iPhoto on a network drive, and it seems to work fine. I have about a 60GB library.
I thought recently I'd upgrade to aperture, since it seems to be an improved version of iPhoto.
The first problem I encountered is that the import from iPhoto option seems to hang when using a network drive. So I got around this by importing the library on a local drive.
But then I tried to open this Aperture library over the network drive, and it just sits there on a dialog box for 24 hours.
Is anyone using a big Aperture library on a network drive? Is this worth persisting with?

The Library should be on an internal drive maintained less than 70% full. You can, however, reference Masters on a network drive using a (strongly recommended) Referenced-Masters Library located on an internal drive. The Referenced-Masters approach will allow the Library to remain a civilized size for your MBP, Vault backups, etc. Back up Masters separately prior to import into Aperture.

Hi,
Did you get any error message when you try to open an Office document from a mapped network drive?
Meanwhile, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Temporarily turn off your firewall/antivirus program to check the result.
2. Try to disconnect the network drive and then reconnect it with the "Reconnect at logon" check box unticked.
3. You can have a look at the following KB article and check if it applies:

Network Drive disapear in Explorer (2012R2, Citrix XenApp 7.5)

We have some crazy bevavior on our Windows Server 2012 R2 infrastructur.
SERVERS
+ 3 HP ProLiant DL380 G8 Server with Windows Server 2012 R2, thereof 2 with Hyper-V Role
+ 13 Virtual Windows Server 2012 R2
On those virtual Server running the following roles:
+ 2 Domaincontroller with AD and DNS
+ 1 Exchange Server 2013
+ 1 Server with Citrix XenApp 7.5 Delivery Controller und Studio
+ 2 Server with Citrix XenApp 7.5 Delovery Controller Agent (Worker Server), one is inactiv
+ 1 Server with Citrix XenApp 7.5 NetScaler WebInterface
CLIENTS
+ ca 20 Windows 7 Pro
+ ca 25 Windows 8.1 Pro
ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR:
Users Login to their Citrix session from Intranet or Internet. Connection to their sessions works god and users can work normal. About 2-5 times a day every most of the users have Problems with the Network drives. in Windows Explorer the drives disapear.
about 30 seconds later most of the Network drives are available again. we were connected with some users to watch it an we can see in Explorer that de Network drives disapear one after the other on de left side in the Navigation tree. after that most of the
drives came back and are visible again. normally one drive is missing. not the same drive, every time another one. all Network drives are mounted by GPO Policies (GPP). If this happens a user had to Close his Citrix session and start a new one, until the drives
disapear netx time.
Someone of you ever see somithing like this? we didnt understand the Situation and need some help to find a solution. Thanks to all of you.

Hi,
>>If this happens a user had to Close his Citrix session and start a new one, until the drives disapear netx time.
When the drives disappear, are we able to access the network shares via UNC path? Besides, check event logs to see if some related events were logged. Moreover, if we use anti-virus software, we can try to disable it to have
a check. In addition, for this involves third party product, it's also recommended that we contact vendor support to see if they can provide some suggestions.

Recovering from a network drive

Hey all
I've been successfully using Time machine on a network drive (using "defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1"  in a console). Unfortunately, my HDD broke and apple support had to install a new one.
Now, how do I restore from that network drive again? I have a freshly installed and fully updated Leopard already and would like to just restore the users' settings. But, the network drive isn't visible in the migration assistant.
I even tried to copy the network drive's content to a firewire disc... still nothin visible.
What else can I do?
Thanks a million!!!
Bernhard

Yes, I can mount the image and thus have access to all revisions stored by time machine. Maybe I could use rsync to get the data back in place? My hope was to make time machine recognize the image on the (now) local drive and recover from there... is that possible?
I know that it's unsupported to use time machine on a nas, but - for me - running time machine on a local hdd just doesn't make much sense (I want multiple computers to do their backup to the same drive and I also want to separate the backup drive from the original drives physically). I also don't see why this should be so difficult to implement (Vista can do it btw... :-)), unless, of course, Apple wants to sell its time capsules...
Anyway, I didn't want to complain, I would just like to get my data back.
Thanks for your help!

Copying Folder to Multiple User Document Folders

I can't find anything in the forums which exactly covers my situation, so I apologize if I am covering old ground.
Is it possible to copy a folder and it's contents to a users document folder on multiple computers via ARD 2.X?
In other words, I want to take a folder and use ARD 2.x to copy that folder to say fifty unique users' document folder over the network without having to enter a new command for each user the folder is copied to.
Does anyone have an idea as to how to do this?

You might try copying it to Users/Shared. That way it is available to everyone on the machine and you only have to copy it once to each computer. What kind of a folder is it? Some apps (like Word) have template folders that all users get when they load the app, so you could just copy your items to that folder, depending on what kind of file it is.

Custom Snippets won't open from Network Drive

Hello All,
I'm using SQL Developer production release on a Window XP Svcpk 2 machine.
I have installed the extension to save snippets. My installation is on a network drive and I can open the "custom" snippets from that drive. However, if I move the snippets.xml to another network drive(one the entire department can see) SQL Developer doesn't open them. I have modified the sqldeveloper.conf to point to the location on the network drive as well as attempted to use a copy on my local hard drive. This may be a "feature" that it has to be in the jdev/extensions directory but it would be useful if the snippets.xml could be placed on a shared network drive. Don't think it is pertinent but I'm connecting to 10.1.0.5 DB(s) as well as an XE DB.
Thanks for your input....

Xmlparser.parse fails with ORA-20100 when reading from mapped network drive

Hi
I have a problem with the xmlparser when parsing an xml document from a mapped network drive. If I read the xml document from a local drive, then there is no problem.
I haven't been able to find any documentation specifying this. Is there any way to parse a file from a mapped network drive???
To clarify, I have created an example procedure, that parses an XML doc from disc, notice that the G: drive is a mapped drive:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure test_xmlparser is
p xmlparser.Parser;
dir varchar2(100) := 'G:\Vejdirektoratet\root\xsl';
errfile VARCHAR2(32) := 'error.log';
begin
p := xmlparser.newParser;
-- set parser properties
xmlparser.setValidationMode(p, FALSE);
xmlparser.setErrorLog(p, dir || '\' || errfile);
xmlparser.setPreserveWhiteSpace(p, FALSE);
-- parse xml file
xmlparser.parse(p, dir || '\' || 'HelloWorld.xml');
xmlparser.FREEPARSER(p);
end;
The file HelloWorld.xml contains the following:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<message>
<text>Hello World</text>
</message>
When running this in SQL*Plus I get the following error:
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Invalid argument
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 22
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 69
ORA-06512: at "VD.TEST_XMLPARSER", line 14
ORA-06512: at line 1
Changing the value of the variable dir to 'C:\' makes it all work.

Hi again
I need to ask a last, hopefully ;-), question on upgrading the JDK to 1.3.1:
As far as I understand, this is how I do it:
1) Install JDK 1.3.1 on DB server
2) tell Oracle DB, to use that JDK.
Is this the correct way? And how is step 2 done?
Looked on metalink, google etc., but could only find this for 9iAS (not the DB) and Oracle Applications 11i.
thanks, Sxren

Airport express RJ-45 jack for a network drive?

I am interested in extending my airport express network with a second airport express. Can I use the RJ-45 jack to connect a network drive (Buffalo LinkStation) or is the jack intended only for an incoming signal from cable/DSL modem? Or do I just need to get a regular wireless router with a multi-port switch? Does the airtunes functionality work on a wireless network provided by a non-apple router? I know getting a regular router is the less expensive way to go, but I would not mind having a second airport express for the airtunes capability if it could also run my network drive. I also know I can add an airport extreme to my network, which has extra ports, but's that's more than I want to spend.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, you could buy a second Airport Express and configure it to "extend" the existing wireless network created by your existing Airport Express. The ethernet port on the new Airport Express would then be active and yes - you could cable a network drive to its ethernet port.
Yes, you can configure an Airport Express to wirelessly provide iTunes streaming on a wireless network created by a non-Apple wireless router.
My suggestion - for best performance, I recommend the network drive be cabled into your network. Therefore:
- buy a non-Apple wireless router, and use it to create your wireless network. The network driver could be cabled to one of the LAN ports on that wireless router
- configure your existing Airport Express as a wireless client on that router's wireless network. You can then wirelessly stream iTunes and print to a printer connected to that Airport Express.
