Windows Network Drive Mapping properties not being associated with Test Stand deployment

I recently upgraded a TestStand/LabVIEW (Developer Suite 2012 DS1) deployment project from a Windows XP Pro OS to Windows 7 Enterprise. Now, when I run the Test Stand deployment, Network paths that used to be hard coded into my File Globals are no longer recognized. I re-wrote the vi's, and put "File Dialog" pop-ups so that I could see what path the control is being opened up at, and what appears to be happening is the Network Drive that I am defaulted to is appearing as if it is "disconnected" in the navigation window, and the path is defaulted to my root directory. I can navigate out to my network path no problem from the navigation window, and after the first time I perform this user action, subsequent executions open up to the path I have hard coded in my Sequence File Globals. However, if I reboot my host computer, I again have to go through the exercise of manually pointing to the proper network location? If I use the Windows Explorer to check Mapped Networked Drives, everything is properly mapped and connected.
Has anyone ever seen this behavior? 

Hi ATE Dude 22,
I have not come across this problem before but here is a document from MSDN and one from NI which discuss file path conventions. From what I've seen, UNC is also accepted under Windows XP so I would advise using it for your file globals.

  • Access Points not being associated with Controller

    I have a 4400 series controller capable of 25 access points. I currently have 11 deployed and the controller is only seeing 10. Also if I have the need to reset a switch the AP is hanging from it can take days for the AP to find itself again, if it finds itself at all. Any Thoughts? I am new to this technology.

    I double checked and it is set to Auto/Auto. It is connected to a Cisco Catalyst 6513 on a WS-X6454-ge-tx board. It's port is setup as a trunk but I am having difficulities setting it to a dot1q trunk. I was trying to use the "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q" command but the only command that board will give me is a "switchport dot1q ethertype 600-FFFF" command. When I type in "switchport trunk ?" I get no encapulation only Allowed, Native and Pruning. I am using an unused VLAN for my trunk.I also double checked my ports my AP's are on and they too are set to Auto speed / duplex. As far as performance Since this is a new setup we have had limited users at a time testing but all have been getting about 54Mbps. Any other thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have tried getting onto the Cisco site again this morning but it is DOG SLOW. Not sure what that is about. Everything else seems fine.

  • Need to search contents of text files on a windows network drive....

    I am trying to search the content of a directory on a windows network drive for that contains .sas files (essentially text files) for a certain text string. Find does not seem to do this. Any ideas/suggestions?
    When I copy a file to my desktop I can do it easily, but that is not an option.

    Uh yeah....in my opinion GREATLY affects Apple's claim to windows compatibility......unless there is a solution out there. My firm is windows-based and we have a terabyte or so of data and files related to various stuff all buried in subfolders..and all I want is to search one folder for one text string.
    I'm praying for a solution here.....

    If you're just doing it in a back and forth or spiral fashion, you don't need to check whether a square's been filled in. You just go from a start point to an end point. Those points and the squares in between are determined by simple arithmetic.
    If you're doing it randomly, I wouldn't use the GUI elements themselves. I'd have, for example, and array of booleans that tells whether each square has been filled in.

  • Iphone 4 not being recognized with the extension cable

    My Iphone 4 is not being recognized with the Apple extension cable in my new Nissan Juke so the phone has to be kept in the glovebox due to the very short cable Nissan provides. This is frustrating since the phone gets noticeably worse reception in the glovebox. Does anyone know of a fix for this so I can run a longer cable extension and run the phone out of the glovebox? Mabye a different extension cable or longer cable that works with Nissan's set up?

    I don't think it is the cable. I have tried plugging the cable into the USB cable that came with the phone and the extension cable works fine with it. I guess this really is just some screwy stuff with Nissan.

  • My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad

    My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad. Like the downtown view and stuff. Please help.

    What locations are you seeing these "problems"? If the satellite photos are older or not as clear, you may see some of what you describe. Take a look at one of the major cities and see if they are also appearing as you describe. Someplace like New York, London, Paris. Those are among the cities that seem to be updated most frequently.
    Incidentally, the maps are web/cloud based and not contained within the maps app on your iPad, so regardless of the version of your app, you will still get the most current map available.

  • Powerpoint 2013 throwing 'File in Use' errors when saving to a network drive, file is NOT in use

    One of our sites is having a strange issue when saving to a network location in Powerpoint.  I'm not sure it's a Powerpoint problem, but it's a place to start...
    When saving a ppt to a mapped network drive (the client is running Windows 8 / Office 2013, the network drive is a DFS share, pointed to a Server 2012 machine if that matters), users will almost always get the following error:
    "Someone else is working in (filepath\name) right now. Please try again later." 
    This happens regardless of where the file is being saved on the network drive, in fact it happens even when there is no pre-existing file with that name in the location.  So, even if I'm saving a brand new copy of test.pptx to F:\Share\PPT where there
    is not currently a test.pptx, I get the error.
    Word, Excel, and all other tested apps save properly.  Powerpoint can save correctly to the local computer, but not to the network drive or to My Documents (which redirects to the same network drive).
    When the error pops up, if I look in Open Files in Computer Management on the Fileserver, I see the file I'm trying to save listed as being open, but it shows 'Disconnected' rather than a username.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated - again, not sure that this is a Powerpoint problem - could be Windows 8 or some mysterious DFS thing...
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Been having a very similar issue in our environment and just came across this thread while Googling and looking for answers.
    In our case, we have Windows 7 clients and 3 main files servers - 2 are Server 2008 R2, and one is Server 2012.  We use PeerLink File Collaboration to sync the files between
    the servers (similar concept to DFS).  For us, it seems to happen specifically with Excel 2013, and only when saving to the Server 2012 file server.  I can reproduce the message pretty much every time.  After seeing your post,
    I tried it in Powerpoint just out of curiosity, but it saved properly - Word saves properly as well.  
    Been doing a bunch of testing to try and narrow it down, and this is what I've found:  
    Excel 2013 -> Server 2012 = error message.  
    Excel 2013 -> Server 2008 R2 = no error message.  
    Excel 2010 -> Server 2008 AND Server 2012 = no error message.
    <o:p>We've been leaning towards the PeerLink replication as the culprit up to this point, but last night I did some testing with the PeerLink Collaboration turned off, and
    still received the error message.. so now I'm even more confused! 
    I see that it's been a few months since your post..  have you made any progress here?</o:p>

  • Network Drive Mapping for users who have Port 445 (possibly others) Blocked by their ISP to a Server 2008 system

    Nice to see my original posts are still up.  I was hoping that in the ensuing time someone had found a solution.  At least I can now see many other posting the same problems.  :)  Thought I was losing it for a while.
    We have 100% proven that the problem (in our case) is from the ISP blocking port 445 (possibly others but 445 for SURE) with the reasoning that it prevents the spread of some Internet "worms".  It also just happens to prevent people who work
    from home from being able to map to their network drives at work.
    What I was hoping was that eventually someone would comer up with a solution for this short of having to load a server using a different OS from Windows.  The SMB protocol is the one needing port 445 as far as I can tell.  Not all ISP block
    port 445 and the laptops that use those ISP's  have no problem.  Unless they travel.  Then it is "hit or miss" as to whether the ISP for the Hotel they stay at blocks it.
    I have run multiple tests to prove that this was in FACT the problem.  Even the particular ISP in question which is a very large national ISP company freely admits they do this supposedly to prevent the spread of an unnamed Internet Worm.  It also
    happens to prevent Business use of their Internet by Home Subscribers at they cannot map to their Business Servers which also need port 445 to map.
    I have used WebDAV successfully to get around this but at a huge loss of speed and performance.  Cloud services all do essentially the same thing and all have pretty much the same loss of speed.
    If anyone has come across a method of allowing a drive mapping to be rerouted to any other port, that is the only hope I have short of changing to an alternate OS for the Office Server and even then I cant be sure until I try if it would help.  I read
    somewhere about the possibility of routing through a proxy but again, the problem would still be that the requests for mapping are expected on port 445 on the server and they will not get through even to the proxy since the originating ISP is the one blocking
    the port from the User's system. 
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated  I have posted this question now for several years with no one yet providing a working solution.  Hope burns Eternal though :)

    Yes, OwnCloud is an option as well as many others.  Even self hosted Cloud services such as the WD MyCloud all work.  The problem is speed.  JungleDisk is the best I have found so far.  I am not sure exactly what they use to allow the
    drive mapping but it seems to work faster that anything else I have found.
    VPN's don't work.  At least none of them I have tried.   I can connect a VPN with no problem.  But still cannot map a drive over it.   Actually, there are some issues with the VPN as well but these are just a matter of methodology. 
    Mapping to the FQDN works for some people while others require the public IP.  Some users on some ISP's can map using the FQDN, others have to map to the IP.  That in itself was a bit odd.
    I have tried every trick I could find including adding  the IP and/or FQDN to the Windows Hosts file on the server as well as on the client systems.  This actually did help to get the VPN to connect in some cases.  However, it still would
    not allow me to map a drive letter.
    I can create a Network Place,  This also works.  But it will not allow me to MAP that "network place" to a drive letter.  I have tried multiple utilities that allow mapping of Drive letters to almost anything but they wont work to map to a
    Network Place.
    The software that needs the mapped drive is a SQL database which runs on port 2004.  The program itself has no problems at all connecting to the server to run the database.  Even on systems which cannot map to the needed drive letter for the documents
    referred to in the database.    Users can run it and look up all kinds of material but it it is only a half-solution since the database refers to files stored in a "common-mapped" drive letter.  Which I cannot Map.
    I have tried every possible configuration of the VPN setup I could find, I have even tried a "Test System" with the NIC connected directly to the T1 Modem.  With all firewalls off and no AV software.  Even if that had worked,  there is no
    way I could run like that.  But it didn't.  Same issues.  All this did was put the blame squarely on the User's ISP which was the only reason I did it.  I had to rule out even the slightest chance that it was something in our equipment.
    This was already almost a certain fact since the same user could take their laptop to a WiFi Hotspot at a fast food restaurant and connect as well as map the drive.  As soon as they went back home, no drive.  On the ones I could convince to pay
    the extra charges, if they switched to a business connection from their ISP, No Problems.
    On most MiFi or other Cellular Internet devices, No Problem,  Although that had a habit of changing.  We had a few that worked for a while, then they got a software update for their MiFi which immediately blocked the ability to map.  Others
    it would be that some models of Cellular HotSpot units worked while other would not work even if both came from the same carrier.
    Coincidentally, we had none of these problems before two other events occurred: 
    One was the release of Server 2008 R2, (which was a kid of "surprise" change for all of us used to Server 2008 R1.  Welcomed changes, but not expected with a simple SP release. 
    The other was IPV6 finally became a reality:  June of 2012.
    This left us with much head scratching as to what was the real cause of the problem.  It took months to narrow it down to port blocking by the Outside ISP's with a 100% certainty.  Even tried reloading a system with Server 2008 R1 just to rule
    that out.  As well as disabling IPV6 on every network device.  The problem stayed with the User when Outside and which ISP they were connected to.
    Currently we are using a mix of normal VPNs for those who can run them, and CLOUD access for those who can't.  Even this is problematic since we have to keep both the local copy and the cloud copy in constant sync so that everyone sees the same versions
    of the same files on each one.
    Sorry to make this so long but I wanted to cover everything to show that we tried it all.  The only thing left short of getting the ISP's to remove the port blocks would be to find a way to route the SMB file requests around port 445 in some way. 
    I have been told that this is easy enough if using a file system other than Windows but that is not an option even if true. 
    Thanks for the updates and ideas.  I keep hoping that eventually there will be some secure method for mapping a drive letter that does not depend on having port 445.

  • CVPN 4.6.4 and Windows network Drives

    Hello:
    I am trying to acheive the simplest possible configuration. We recently placed PIX with outside I/F 66.x.x.98. And we have win2003 DC and File server/wins server/DNS server all on one host with IP address 66.x.x.100. This win2003 also has an inside interface with IP 192.168.2.41.
    What i am trying to acheive is once the User connects using VPN client, login to the domain, it should run the login script associated with the userID and map the network drives.
    Everything is working fine, networks drives are not mapping upon login. But when i try to manually map the drives it works.
    Any thoughts. I know its simple, but for some reason, its drivin me crazy.

    If this is not a wireless network, this may all be rubbish!
    To which computer is the Linksys ADSL cable attached? If it is the PC, than the"Internet sharing" is done on the PC, so the Apple needs to log on to an existing connection. The Linksys will probably need to be told the Mac address of the Apple so that it gives the Apple permission to log on (Airport address - same thing). The Apple will need to have the Password to log on to the network- you should have set up a WEP password when setting up the router. They also need to be on the same Network i.e. both on WORKGROUP, or whatever. You need to set your FIREWALL to allow Internet, file and printer sharing. (The XP built in firewall doesn't seem have this option).
    You should see your Apple on the network, you log on to it by double clicking the icon, typing your Mac "Short name" into the "User name" slot, and your Apple's password into.... wait for it..... the PASSWORD slot
    On the Apple, from Finder>go>network this should bring up a panel with a folder with your network name on it, clicking on this folder should bring up the name of your computer, clicking on this should then invite you to open folders on your PC (Assuming you've set up a shared folder(s)).
    If your printer is plugged into your PC..... Have fun!
    Hope this helped - I'm sure that this is the sequence I used to, eventually, get mine talking. But different routers (Mine's Netgear) and different Firewalls may have different rules, but the principle will be pretty similar.
