Workstation not mapping any network drives

Im having an issue with different workstation not mapping any network drives. The issue to would seem totally random. Each time is over a wired connection. I havent been able to find a TID about this. The issue also just seems to have started, however no changes have been made to any of the workstations Ive seen this on. The errors I get in the login script are below. The servers are all NetWare 6.5SP7. Suggestions?
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-923: An unexpected error has occurred: 15 (8819).
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-923: An unexpected error has occurred: 13 (8819).
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-923: An unexpected error has occurred: 9 (8819).
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-918: This utility was unable to get connection information. Error code: 8801

Basic network connectivity issue. One known common culprit for this
error is a workstation firewall, but the raw symptom just means that
unexpected network connectivity problems occured.

Photoshop CS6 is not showing any network drives within windows 8.1.

Photoshop CS6 is not showing any network drives within windows 8.1, I can only browse the local disk for files. Please advise?
And when i try opening a file directly from the network, photoshop starts but does not open the selected file?

The dialog you show there looks like it may be a CS6 open dialog running on windows 8.1 that is showing what is local. Network is not highlighted selected.
Here is a CC Open one windows 7 pro showing areas of what is accessible.

Hi,
Is there any error message throwed when you reconnect the mapped drive? Can you directly access the UNC path of the mapped drive? What VPN programs do you use? Please check if the VPN client connect correctly.
You could refer to the thread below to check if the AD account is restricted by VPN.

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

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

Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive

Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
Click on "Update Driver". Lan eNet details as follows:
Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
(But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
--- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
"Choose a connection option"
Click on "Connect to the Internet"
Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
=> To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
Note:
Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware. I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
Then I built the Windows-7 Repair Disc... used later.
Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
See images.
That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
I get message:
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates. It says it fixed two items.
I still have the problem.
The service shows "started"
Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
"No action needed"
"Windows Update does not require any action"
I checked Update History...
... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
It works! 7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
What to do?
By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

Requirement is to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a windows service, which will be created by command: - net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes

Environment:
OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
Priority:
- Critical
Requirement: - Since
the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
command
net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
Already Attempt:
We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command. Here’s a sample command:
AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
But I received a warning that “due
to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
2. We
tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
<Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
3. One
suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
4. I read an article, which
demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
so we are not able to use PSTools.
Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
I will be really thankful.

Hi Sir,
Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
That’s why, we posted on forum.
And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
use ..."
in network domain; definitely,
we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.

Windows 7 (Client) map a network drive VPN Snow Leopard Server

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and are using a VPN service.
My services on the mac os x sls server are: AFP, DNS, Firewall, Open Directory, SMB and VPN.
I can connect the VPN from Mac clients and Windows 7 clients, but I can only map a network drive/share point on Mac´s.
On Windows 7 I get an error: path or name not found ( I am sure using the correct path, same from Mac client that works).
When I am using my internal network LAN I can map a network drive using Windows 7 and Mac but outside over a VPN not (only Mac works).
The only service, at this moment, that I need is File Sharing outside my network LAN using a VPN.
How can I map a network drive from a Windows 7 client using a VPN, is there any Firewall rules / SMB rules / File Sharing rules that I missed on the server side?
Thank You.

I really don't know what are going wrong with my settings. As you said/write it must be an easy setup.
I'm using a Time Capsule and used the Server app to add VPN to the port forwarding also.
When I am connected thru the VPN I tried to ping the Server IP and got no answer from it, from W7 client!?
My Mac's are just working fine with AFP and SMB share points thru the VPN.
I think I have missed some settings from the SMB or Firewall services for VPN with W7 client's or it is a Windows issue.....

Could not reconnect all network drives

I have several drives mapped on different Windows 7 boxes in my office. Just about every time I boot up one of these systems I receive the message "Could not reconnect all network drives" in the system tray.
I should note that merely clicking the drive inside Windows Explorer will restore the connection. I store the server logon credentials in Control Panel / Credential Manager then just map the network paths to drive letters. I'm pretty sure the
problem doesn't stem from any credentials type of problem though, because I have the exact same situation when connecting to only open shares. I have noticed that a couple applications will restore the connection themselves when trying to access information
on a share. Most applications however will give an error and time out trying to access the shares unless I go and manually click each drive letter in Explorer. For instance if I place Firefox bookmarks on a share and open Firefox, Firefox will
display no bookmarks until I click the drive in Explorer and reopen Firefox.
One thing I can do to fix the problem is hard code my IP address. I never receive the message if a computer has fixed IP address. My router hands out IPs on the LAN dynamically, so I switch it to another router and tried a using a Linux based dhcp-server
as well. Neither fixed the problem.
I'm a long time user of batch files and realize I could place use one as a band aid for this issue, but I don't want to go that route.

Hello marstech,
According to the research, the mapped drive lost issue may be caused by the several possible reasons:
Possible reason1. The problematic client doesn't reconnect to the target share at logon.
Please follow the steps to re-configure the mapped driver on the client and then check if the issue will re-occur.
Steps:
a. Open "My Computer"
b. Click on "Tools" and then select "Map Network Driver"
c. input the \\ipaddressofserver\sharename to give the path of the share
d. Check "Reconnect at logon"
e. Drive gets mapped
f. Double click on the drive to check.
Possible Reason 2. Antivirus software or Windows Firewall may block the SMB protocol on clients.
Please check if there is any Antivirus software and the Windows Firewall is enabled on the problematic client. If so, please disable them to check if the issue can be resolved.
Possible Reason3. Fast Logon Optimization is enabled on the clients.
The fast logon feature may affect the display and drive letter assignment of a mapped network drive. As a result, the drive may have been mapped; however, the user on client cannot see it in Windows Explorer. He may recognize it as a failed network drive mapping.
This is the reason why we usually suggest you to disable fast logon on the clients via a GPO, and please check if the mapped network drive will be occur under this circumstance.
Please also configure the following group policy setting to disable Fast Logon Optimization to see if the issue still exists on the problematic clients.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
When this policy is enabled, a Windows XP client behaves in the same manner as a Windows 2000 client at both system startup and at user logon.
Please note: As this is a computer configuration, please run "Gpupdate /force" and then reboot the problematic clients to make it take into effect.
For more information about Fast Logon Optimization feature, please check the following KB article.
305293 Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831998
297684 Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684
If the issue still exists on the problematic clients, please also try adding the following registry subkey on the problematic client to check it works.
Steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
b. Locate and click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache
c. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
d. Type SilentForcedAutoReconnect , and then press ENTER to name the value.
e. Double-click SilentForcedAutoReconnect .
f. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any concen.
Hope the information can be helpful for you.

How can I map a network drive so that it is persistent?

When I use my PB at work, I need to connect to a network drive. Is there a way to map to this drive sutomatically when I boot up at work but not give me any problems when I boot up at home.

Are you connecting to a Windows-based network drive? If so, I can't remember the exact procedure because I've found it actually more difficult to "map to network drive" with PCs.
For the Mac, what I've done is, to save headaches, is made a shortcut to my networked drive on my Dock.
First, in the File menu:
GO > Connect to Server > Browse > (find your networked drive)
Second, double click on your choice, and what should come up is a new dialog box that says "Connect to Server" with the choice to connect as "Guest" or "Registered User."
Choose "Registered User" type in your login name and password, and click the checkbox for "Remember password in keychain" and then click on the CONNECT button.
Third, if successful, when the drive mounts, drag that to your dock and leave it there.
Then you can access your networked drive any time without having to re-enter your name and password every time. So as long as you did it right.
I don't recommend putting it in your Login Items because it can cause system hangups if for some reason, you aren't connected to your network when you startup. It will hang and search for that drive forever. ("Forever").
Trust me on that part. I've wasted precious time in most cases, waiting for the PowerBook to search for a drive that is not connected.
Also, you can put your networked drive in your "Favorite Servers" section by clicking on the "+" sign with the drive's address typed in. That way you also don't have to find it all the time.
But do the previous tip and you should be fine.
That is, if you are on a Mac to Mac network. I gave up trying to access the PC network because it kept reassigning the IP address and would never remember where it was.
(That's how I got those hangups at startup).

How can I map a network drive on an iPad once a VPN is established?

I have a new iPad and I am trying to access a network drive once I establish a VPN on my company's network. I can establish the VPN, but I am not sure of how to map a network drive like I do on my MacBook using smb.

Not true. You can use the app NetPortal https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netportal-access-files-on/id323133602?mt=8
Does exactly what you want. There's a free version, netportal lite, that does the same thing but only lets you access PDFs. Try downloading the free version first to see if you are able to get connected. I was able to easily on first try once I establised my VPN, ran this app, and entered in the local IP address, username, and password.

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.

Use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive

Is it possible to use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive. I have three different basic sites (home, work1, work2) with network drives that I would like to access depending on the site.
1) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile?
2) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile that is based on vpn connection?
thanks in advance
sincerely, anders

Hi,
directly it's not possible for Access Connection to reconfigure your network drives.
However, there is one really cool part of Access Connection, that might be realy suitable for your situation. This part is the script/application, that can be executed when a profile gets applied.
So for your situation I can imagine, that you create a .bat file, that contains something like this:
net use * /DELETE /YES
net use Z: \\computer name\share name
The first part will delete all maped drives. The second part will establish connection that you want to use. Of course you can multiply the last part, so that you can configure multiple connections.
Please let me know, if this helps.

Error 0x800704b3 when trying to map a network drive

Hi there,
I have the following error when trying to map a network drive in my home network:
"\\iomegahmd can not be reached" and the error code is 0x800704b3.
I already looked into the services, and my strong assumption is that the problem is that the service "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" is not statrted and it is disabled. When I try to start it, there is an error message:
"The system could not find the path specified".
I've also checked the dependency components of the service "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper":
Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock
NetBT
TCP/IP-Protocol driver
NetIO-Legacy-TDI Support driver
in the device manager if they are running, but they are all running. The start is set to "System".
Under the TCP/IP Internet version 4 properties of the wireless device, under Advanced -> WINS Ive set Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, but it didnt help either.
What else could I try, so that I can map network drives?
I should also mention, that the problem persist since some week ago. Before it, it was properly functioning. Also, on the other computers in my networks I do not have problem accessing the same network drive.
Thanks in advance,
Dime

Its difficult to say whats wrong in your case. My first idea is: set the system to early time point before this error appeared.
I would also recommend to disable all the security software and check if you come across the same problem.
If you still face the issue, then follow the link to fix the corrupted user profile.

LabVIEW for Mapping of Network Drives with Error Handling

Is there a way to do the following easily in LabVIEW?
- List drive letters and network paths of existing mapped drives on host PC
- Check if a desired mapped drive is connected and if its disconnected reconnect to it
- Receive related errors that may occur during attempting a connection to a mapped drive (i.e. path cannot be found, etc...)
I know how to do most of this in VBScript but I'd like to avoid having ANY code for the work I'm doing be "non-G"!
Thanks for your time!
