WRTSL54GS and VISTA - can't map drive

Hi,
I installed a WRTSL54GS router yesterday and the attached drive (currently just a 1GB flash drive) does not show up under VISTA OS. It only shows as a Media Device on the network. It seems to work OK under XP-home. Is this a VISTA compatability problem or is there a trick to it? Otherwise it seems to work fine.
Thanks

I am having the same issue... I can manage the WRTSL54GS from the Vista pc just fine. There is a usb sata port/bay and a 7 port USB hub attached to the device. The sata port has a 320gb ntfs drive and the hub has 3 different format and size drives attached.

on my XP Pro SP3 pc i have the drives mapped as network drive....    All_Partitions on 'Wrtsl54gs'(R

Vista lists the drives as a media drive and a network drive [under network con...]
... but when i try to authenticate to the drive when mapping [using any and all accounts set in the router] i keep getting bounced back to the login prompt.... i have even tried using the Wrtsl54gs as the domain\user structure... still no joy...
the vista media server listing shows 3 short video clip files... but i am not sure they are actualy on any of these drives [possibly 'sample' clips from somewhere...]
this is very frustrating as i was planning on using this router/server to house shared videos and install files....
i have plugged each of the flash drives into the vista's usb port and it reads all of them... fat, fat32 and ntfs...

What is Investment allowance on asset. and How can we map into SAP?

Hi all,
I want know what is investment allowance on asset and how can we map into sap?
Thank you in advance.

Chandu.

hello chandu ,
In order to encourage substantial investment in plant or machinery clause 5 of the Finance Bill, 2013 seeks to insert new section 32AC in the Income-tax Act, 1961 to provide for deduction for
investment in new plant or machinery by a company. It is allowed over and above the depreciation rates. This is for tax calculation purpose for availing this benefit so many conditions to be fullfilled. In sap this can be handled through development only. n.selvakumar.

Unable to rename folders and files on SharePoint mapped drive.

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and have mapped a drive to my SharePoint "Shared Documents" folder. I am able to open, save, and delete files and folders. However, I am unable to rename files and folders. No matter how long of
short of a name I use I get the following error:
"The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name."
I've mapped the "S" drive to http://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents/
I am a SharePoint Admin, and have confirmed that if I do not have this problem if I log into SharePoint with IE. I have also confirmed that others are not experiencing this issue. Also, this issue did not exist on my previous installation of Windows
7. Therefore I assume this is a config issue.
Also, in "My Computer" it shows the mapped SharePoint drive as a "FAT" filesystem.

Did some more testing. From my mapped drive, I can create new folders and files, and delete them. I created a folder in Windows Explorer, when I tried to give a name it gave me the above error and saved the folder as "New Folder". No matter when
I try, I cannot rename this folder unless I log into the SharePoint interface.
Next, I tried this from the command line. I moved to my S drive, and did a "mkdir test" and was able to create a folder named test. Next I tried to "rename test testing" and received the following error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The full path is S:\test. If I do a "mkdir testing" I am able to create the folder. If I try to rename the folder in Explorer, it gives me the "file name not valid or too long". I'm obviously well under the 260 character limit, so there
has to be something wrong with the fiel name, or drive mapping.
Also, when I "dir" the S drive it tells me the drive has no label. "Volume in drive S has no label."
I'm having the same issue with files. I can create a file, modify it, delete it, but can't rename it.

I have one Windows 7 machine that can't map drive to Lion Share Point?

I setup a Lion mac mini server. Mac and Windows clients all can map a drive to the Lion share points with the exception of one Windows 7 machine. When mapping I continually get "the specified network password is not correct" message regardless of which credentials I use. I tried changing the win7 network settings and turning off the firewall but nothing has allowed a connection to happen yet. Any help is appreciated !!!

Also, when browsing the network and choosing the server in the list, I get a login prompt with the error at the bottom "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." It's almost like it is trying to use some other credentials automatically?

My pc on windows vista can not install driver for my Iphone 4s on 6.0.1

I can do everything in itunes but the windows driver can not be installed.

I too have experienced the Logitech s715i error message stating something like, the accessory is not a supported device of the iPhone. The speakers will charge my phone but will not "connect" to play music. I have an iPhone 4S running version 6.1 (10B142).
I too have contacted Logitech for support and am awaiting a reply.
Can we get some help over here?

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.

Loss of mapped drive, networked drive disconnects

I'm running Win7 ult x64. I am running on a network with 4 pcs, 2 vista, 2 xp. We have one server running 2000. I have mapped a couple of folders on the server and can connect just fine when I first start my pc. But after awhile the connection is lost. It still shows the drives, but not the connection. This internet works fine and access is controlled through the server. I can restart my machine and the drives will be connected and working as they should. But after some time they will disconnect again. Win 7 is acting like it is losing the connection to the network, because I can't map another drive from one of the other PC's unless I reboot. But the internet access is still working fine. Any ideas?

To All,
Here is what I have found. This is a problem with Windows 7 and nothing else. After several test and looking at forum after forum. here is what I came up with.
I have 3 machines. 1 (XP) and 2(Windows 7 recently loaded). the 2 machines that I loaded Windows 7 (fresh) were both XP. The 1 XP machine that is still XP for this post I will call File_Machine (because this is where I hold my files and
map to from the other machines.
1. When my other 2 machines were loaded with XP I have no problem with mapped drives. No dropping or reconnection problems.
2. I load Windows 7 on 1 of my machines and start noticing when I would shutdown or logoff it woudl hang at the log off screen and the only way to shutdown is a hard shutdown. I knew it was related to a network connections not closing or something
but could not isolate it.
3. Installed Windows 7 one the other machine (oohh by the way 1 is Windows 7 Ultimate and the other is Professional). I started experiencing the same problems with this machine mapping back the my File_Machine.
4. Saw a post referencing the idle network connection disconnect feature in the Windows Operating system.. so I looked at my XP machine (File_machine) active sessions.
5. I brought both windows 7 machine online and let them restore the network connections to the XP box. after being idle for a while the sessions dropped because they were idle (this is normal and by default). ok fine.. no problems there.
6. here is the kicker.. when I went back to either Windows 7 machine and clicked on the mapped drive, it hung and would not reconnect to the share. the share is fine and active. The problem is the Windows 7 is not sending the correct signal to
the system housing the share to reconnect.
7. To confirm this I ran the following command on the XP (File_machine).. NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1 (this command disabled the autodisconnect feature in a network connection is idle).. the (-1) represents the duration to wait before disconnecting.
-1 is to disable.. I believe the number range is from 0 to 655555 or something.. representing seconds.
8. after the was disabled there were no more dropped connections.
9. set the number to 1 and tested again.. and the problem came back..
What does this say.. Microsoft needs to look at Windows 7 reconnection attempt commands for idle connection and see what signal is being sent to the resource to say wake up and reconnect me because it's not working..
Hopes this helps everyone and Hope MS reads this and looks into it.. You know have the info on how to recreate the problem.
Hi What_I_Found,
What is the default value for NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1 command ?
As I would like to test and see if this command works for me and if it doesn't then I would like to go back to using the default value.
Thanks in advance,
Bashy
I found the answer, and all of the above info here...

The default "Disconnect setting" is set to 15 minutes.

Itunes in Windows Vista=no cd rom drive

I got a new computer loaded w/Windows Vista. I installed itunes. Noticed later Cd-dvd drive didn't show up in My Computer. I found a thread on a microsoft site that had me edit the Registry. My cd-dvd drive came back...Then itunes told me some of my drivers were missing and to repair Ituness. I repaired itunes. My cd-dvd drive is now gone again. HOw can I get my drive back, keep Itunes happy, and not go nuts?
thanksin advance
Rhsuz

I had this problem while working on a pc at my office. When I searched every where for it the only thing I could find is the registry key that you have to remove. We found a way to fix it though. The registry key is the driver that itunes uses to access the optical drive so it can burn with it, but there is a conflict. What must be done is either uninstall itunes or remove that registry key so you can have access to the optical device. Do all the firmware upgrades for the optical drives and update the bios for the pc to the latest addition. install itunes, and update to the latest version (you will probably lose your optical drive again). No go to the windows updater and make sure you get and install ALL latest updates. Afterwords, restart, you should be able to see your cd drive, if not, you probably have roxio and its conflicting with itunes. If you uninstall roxio, you will be able to use your itunes to burn cd's and you can see the drive. If you need roxio and still having the problem, remove the registry key again. The only thing it disables is the ability for itunes to burn cd's and it will tell you everytime you open it that it needs to be repaired, but it will work fine with out it so don't repair it. This is as far as I have gotten.

Xserver and Vista Issues

I'm running a mac server with half mac half pc. I got a new pc that is running Vista Business. I need to join it with our domain, but for the life of me it won't. I can see the other pc's when I go to network & sharing and I can access public drive, but when I try and join the pc to the domain I get an error message. It tells me the specified domain either does not exist or could not
be contacted. Please someone tell me what might be causing this/

You could look to re-load the Windows Vista system with Windows XP software (or replace the PC with a Mac and with Mac OS X and Bootcamp as and when needed), and operate in a more familiar environment.
(There's a good chance this approach will work.)
Or try this: set Windows Vista to the "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated", and away from the apparent default "NTLMV2 responses only" setting. To get to this particular Windows knob, "run secpol.msc" to get to the settings, look under local policies, then security settings.
(Let us know if this works.)
Finding and loading Samba 3.0.22 or later also apparently fixes this issue, too. (Up until Windows Vista arrived, not much actually used NTLMv2...)
Some related reading material on NTLM is here, if you're interested:

Mapped Drives in Group Policy

Hi,
I am currently mapping drives via Group Policy, they are mapped based on the users location with Item Level Targeting. Because users move between different offices they access different drives in each office, the settings delete all mapped drives and then adds
the mapped drives for the office they are currently each time they log on.
However some users have manually mapped drives that are specific to the user. Is there a way to retain the manually mapped drives and just delete and add the drives in Group Policy?
My apologies if I have not made myself clear.
Thank you in advance for any help or thoughts

Hi,
Using "Delete" preference item, you can delete the specific mapped drives by identifying their drive letter configured using GPP, without disturbing the mapped drives created manually.

Mapped drive to other domain on another subnet disconnects

Hi,
I have a strange situation here. Tasked to change/upgrade nearly everything about this companies IT setup. Old servers, old domain name, old switches and some old workstations with XP. I bought all new servers, switches and some new workstations. set up
all the new equipment and placed a linux box as a router between the two networks. Just for reference old is 192.168.1.0/24 and new is 10.1.1.1/24. I have the 10.1.1.0 network using DHCP and defining a static route to the 192.168.1.0 network as the router
10.1.1.254. All seems to work fine and once I move a users network cable to the new switch and join them to the new domain. I can map a drive to the old file server's 1 big share and use other credentials as 'old domain\user' and password and all is well.
The issue I am running into more and more is the mapped drive from the old network disconnects. A user will open a file and work on it and when they go to save it will say it is not available. They need to open the drive then save. On rare occasions they need
to disconnect the drive and remap it.
All of this was to try to buy some time while moving the users over one department at a time, but I am spending less time working and more time remapping drives.
Any help would be welcome.

Hi rcc9979,
Seems like your map drive lose connection frequently, for good measure, please try to access or browse the mapped drive and wait for few minutes then see if it reconnects.
And please let us know if this issue happens to all users, one Specific user or only some users in one network.
Then you could use net use command with “/persistent:yes” parameter to map network drive then see if the issue still persists.
If this happens to all users, this behavior might be caused by the systems can drop idle connections after a specified time-out period (by default, 15 minutes) to prevent wasting server resources on unused sessions.
To fix this issue we could download fix tool or by Registry Editor

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.

How to prevent a rdp user from mapping drives on the server ?

Hi,
User A from Domain A (using Win7 pro) is able to rdp to Server Z (Windows Server 2008) which is in Domain Z and is able to map drive.
My question is : How do I prevent User A from mapping any drive in Server Z ?
Please advise. TIA !

Hi,
if a user has access to the other share there is no way to prevent that user from mapping a drive.
However, you can remove the "map Network drive" functionality via policy, please see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms812045.aspx
That does not prevent users from mapping their drive manually using the "net use ..." command from a shell. While it is possible to restrict running of the net command, I do not recommend that (see
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b5012142-cfe9-4b24-99b9-d7ff3b84f0f4/what-security-policy-blocks-use-of-the-net-command-for-nonadmin-users?forum=winserverGP).
( What you may consider when having Shares cross-forest, you can remove that authorized users permission from the share replacing it by DOMAIN\Domain users groups, etc. So access to the share is limited instead of using a share that a user has access to.
Please Keep in mind that even when you remove the Network drives a user can still Access the resource via UNC. )

Martin

K9vgm-v - Problems with 500g HD and Vista

I installed Vista last night (fresh install) and have a 500g, unformatted hard drive (a Seagate NL35 ST3500641NS) that I just purchased from New Egg. The Hard Drive is a SATA drive.
I've enabled the SATA as IDE in the bios, and have the drive plugged into SATA1. It's showing up in POST as IDE3. When I boot Vista and load the Computer Management, Disk Management console, the drive is showing up as 128GB. The Management Console tells me that the drive has to be initialized, and gives me the option to do it so that other machines can read the drive (NTFS, I assume), or so that only Vista can read the drive (recommended for disks over 2TB, according to the OS). No matter which one I choose, I receive an error and the disk is unformatable.
I understand that the solution to larger disks in XP was to simply install SP1. However, I was under the impression that native support for larger disks was included in Vista. I have installed the latest drivers for the K9VGM (the Vista drivers) and as far as I know, everything is set up correctly. If this is a known problem (i.e. with no fix), would it work if I formated the drive in another machine, then plugged it back into my main machine?
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Ok, so I haven't really had a chance to mess with it until now. At any rate, I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version. When I did that, at first (assume that it's always jumpered to 1.5 GB/s) the drive DID show in the BIOS, but with a seriously limited quantity. When I booted in Vista, I could see the drive as I could before -- 128 GB. Also, my internet connection would not work (couldn't get an IP -- I'm using the onboard) and the computer was performing all too noticably slower. The Window Manager (or whatever it's called, only been using Vista for a few days) crashed, and the computer was moving very slowly.
I rebooted and went back into the BIOS, and lo and behold, the drive displayed 500 GB. I booted into Vista and the drive, again, displayed 128 GB. Long story short, after multiple reboots, I could only get it to display the magical 500 GB number once, and the computer was still performing horribly with no internet.
The only thing I could do was to roll back the BIOS, and all of the functionality was restored but, again, the drive isn't recognized in the BIOS and still displays the limited quantity in the OS. I did bring the drive over to a friends and he was able to format it on a Gigabyte board that supports 3.0 GB/s at full capacity, so I know it's not the drive.
Any other suggestions?

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
