Can't map network drives via a RDP to Windows Server 2012 connection

I have yet to find a definite answer on this topic, so I hope that someone will have encountered it here.

Access us an application on a remote server of 2012 hosted through RDP connections in two different sites.  This application outputs files in a folder that I need mapped to Windows 7 PC local.  After the RDP connection, I go to Windows Explorer and you try to map a network drive using a UNC name, for example: \\IP address\D$ \folder name and check the box "use different credentials.

At this point, what happens depends on what profile of I use.  If I use the profile that was created when installing Windows Server (admin profile) it works fine.  If I use any other profile, or another admin profile, it does not work, and I can't understand why?

During the inspection, the two profiles admin seem to be the same!

I know that I can map drives the other direction (take my drives mapped with me RDP) but this is not acceptable because several PC (on different sites) will be locally run software that needs a path set for the location of the files, that creates the remote app.

Any advice will be appreciated.

  • Customers light rdp to windows server 2012

    Hello

    I have a client with a Windows Server 2003 32-bit server acting as a mail server & DC, but also make nightly backups.

    Users run desktop computers as well as laptops at the office, with some of them (sometimes) connect to the network from remote locations.

    I am currently looking at upgrading their environment, in upgrading the server to 64-bit Windows 2012 and add Thin Clients for desktop users, so they can connect directly to the server that will help reduce overhead costs (such as the failure of HARD drive on desktop computers).

    The question I have is if this Setup will work? Basically, I'm interested in Windows Server 2012 Server Essentials or Standard 64-bit with the necessary amount of RDP CAL this server will run exactly as the server running from 2003, in what will be the domain controller, Exchange server & perform nightly backups. In addition to this, I want to install MS Office with the necessary quantity of licenses.
    However, I would like to know if it will work or if I am looking at a catch which will prevent users to connect to the server? Or office giving problems if Word is open for a user, it will not be open for the user to one another (the same issue with Outlook & Excel etc.)?

    If there is no potential problem that prevents this configuration to work, can someone please point out to me what will be the problem and if there is a solution?

    Hi Provost,

    Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the Ethernet drivers from the following link:

    http://www.driverscape.com/download/Atheros-ar8152-8158-PCI-e-fast-Ethernet-controller-%28ndis-6.20%29

    And it worked perfectly for me. I had another system (HP 600 g MT). I went to the Device Manager and checked the name of the Ethernet adapter. It is Atheros AR8152 / 8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20). Then I googled and found the link above was the driver.

    The graphics driver from the link you provided, I always download it now. Would return as soon as possible about that.

  • Can't RDP to Windows Server 2012 R2 Azure VM

    After a potential bug on the blue fabric blue, I lost the ability to connect to two separate Azure VM.

    Initially, they don't even start. I had to move the OS VHD to virtual machine resumed, run a fix on startup files and then replace the virtual hard disk.

    Now their initialization, but trying to RDP, it is just a black screen.

    I am able to UNC path to the file system, then I copied the *.evt (Event Viewer) of logs to the wide one of the virtual machine.

    I see something about immediately, in the section of the observer Application events:

    Name of the failing application: LogonUI.exe, version: 6.3.9600.17415, time stamp: 0x5450541b
    Name of the failed module: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.3.9600.17415, time stamp: 0 x 54505737

    There is more to this, but these are the main lines. I have a feeling that this could be the cause of this black screen problem. I have not all backups of virtual machines.

    Is this a problem that can only be fixed by an engineer of azure with host access? Does anyone have any comments about this? I'm enough options.

  • How can I get Windows Server 2012 Essentials recognize my HARD drive when you turn an external HARD drive in a drive HARD internal storage?

    I recently had a pool of storage space using 3 external drives USB 3.0 in Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  I decided to take the readers out of the enclosure and connected directly to the internal SATA connectors on my motherboard.  When the server was launched upward, these 3 discs now display as disconnected in storage.

    When I do the command 'get-disc' physical in PowerShell, the drives appear as "drives physical 1,2 & 5" and are 2.72 to each. "."  But it also lists disks Seagate Expansion as well, with a status of "communication lost".  These are the same three disks that are now internal.

    Nothing has been deleted or erased, so all the data is still on each individual unit and assume that if I managed to put back them in the external enclosure, would immediately online.  I thought that everything simply moving them to a new HARD disk controller (internal SATA USB) would not cause the pool to drop the readers, they are always connected to the same server.

    Is there a way to get storage space to see and read the 3 internal drives to bring my pool/area back online without losing any data?

    She is able to ping the NAS very well (as well as other machines) and that it can access the NAS by opening a program (word or excel for example) and then opening a folder and navigation, but it is obviously very embarrassing.

  • Windows 8 forget my mapped network drives and printer settings

    I have a Dell Precision M4400 I have upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8 a few months ago.  At work, I have mapped network drives shared on two different servers (called "appsrvr" and "wsbs2008") and use a network HP LaserJet P4014 printer.  At startup, Windows remembers always drives mapped on \\appsrvr\ but not \\wsbs2008\.  Each time you start and sometimes after sleep/hibernation, I have to re - map three drives \\wsbs2008\.  I always leave "Reconnect at sign-in" selected, but Windows 8 seems to have an anterograde amnesia.  It is irritating because I have a lot of files that I use on these drives.  It's bad enough, but it seems it can be related to a problem even more annoying, which is that Windows 8 does not remember that has LJ P4014 printer of a duplex unit installed.  Similarly, it seems to happen every time you start and after little sleep deep.  It is particularly irritating because I prefer to print pretty much any two-sided and it takes several steps more fix manually at least once a day via the control panel.  If I go to the control panel and you try to add a printer, I see two options:

    "HP LaserJet 4014 on APPSRVR" - selection that immediately gives an error: Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Operation failed with error 0x0000007e.

    "HP LaserJet 4014 on WSBS2008" - selection that gives "connect to HP LaserJet 4014 on WSBS2008.domain.local.  Looking for a driver.  Complete the installation.  Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Operation failed with error 0x0000007e.

    I followed several instructions online to resolve this error, nothing helps.

    I was finally able to connect with a limited fan support IT / desktop support person to the small company where I work.  According to the properties of the device, it is connected via a WSD port (whatever it is).

    Did it come all worms down to Windows 8 plays not nice with CAT 2008 (FE Standard with SP2)?  Are there solutions to these problems other than asking the company to upgrade to a newer version of Windows Small Business Server?  Ironically, APPSRVR, which doesn't seem to have a problem with my computer has Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Rev 2, and I had no problem with either when I had XP.  Remember, despite these problems, I like much better than XP Windows 8, but I like it much more if only he would remember my settings!

  • Executable file runs on the C drive, but reports broken during the launch of a mapped network drive

    .NET is a security protocol that will allow you to run .NET applications (or applications that use .NET assemblies) to a network drive. This is normal.

    You can configure permissions for .NET assemblies allow .NET to run from a network drive, but I never had much luck with this work in fact. (Just Google for it).

  • The directory of the user on the mapped network drive

    I want to move my user directory C:\Users\Edwin to a mapped network drive E: (i.e. mapped from a network share \\\\192.168.22.9\share ).

    The difficult part is to move the directory of the user himself. I found 2 possible solutions, which are not applicable for me due to my use of a network drive.

    1. Move C:\Users\Edwin" to "E:\Users\Edwin , and then use a symbolic link of junction ( mklink -J ) to post a link to C:\Users\Edwin .

      This does not work for me because I can't create a symbolic link to a directory on a non-local drive junction.

    2. Changing the value of registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory of %SystemDrive%\Users to E:\Users before you create the user "Edwin".

      Later, when the "Edwin" user first connects, the profile will be in E:\Users\Edwin .

    The problem is that I met a problem of the egg and the hen.

    When you first login as a user 'Edwin' profile will be created in E: . However, at the moment I first login, the mapped network drive E: is not there.

    I tried without success to the following:

    1. Create a drive mapped persistent administrator. Did not work. The mapped drive is only visible to the administrator user.

    2. Create a mapped drive persistent using the rights system (using PsExec -s ). Did not work. The mapped drive is not 'owned' by anyone, not even the current administrator user.

    3. Create a drive mapped persistent by using the user newly created by Edwin, without opening a session as Edwin again (using the PsExec once again). Did not work. It is possible to create a mapped drive under a different name, once I tried to do it with persistence ( /persistent:yes ), I get a Access is Denied error.

    No idea how this can be done? Or is it it even can be done at all?

    I constantly tried to use the "NET USE" syntax to get a Windows XP Home system to keep & share mapped network drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of the system and nothing I tried or worked on ANY blog. I can map the current network through made normal drive right click on 'My computer' and then provide a designation of drive letter with the correct path and have had great success using the function "connect using a different user name." However, even with the box checked to re-connect to the opening of the service is WORTHLESS! I made a lot of attempts to use the Net use syntax to create a batch file to overcome this non-functional raw application. I would really appreciate someone who actually had this issue resolved and work.

    Since you have a network with different OS' I hope that Win 7 is configured to run on asnetwork work.

    If evry thing is configured properly it can be a problem of how your router keep information network. With the help of Staic DHCP or IP static on computers could help solve the problem.

    Just in case you need to reconfigure your network.

    ---------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall isactive .

    Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.
