Windows 10: Map network drive for all users?

Is there a way to map a network drive for all users?

Thanks in advance for any and all insight.

:)

 

How do I set a network drive as the default save location?

The drive is mapped. All network drives are mapped with a drive letter assigned. None of them appear as an option in her settings.

 

Windows 10: Mapped network drives not showing up until sign out/restart?

the MS preferred way is to use the far end of the alphabet when mapping network drives - that's why their default letter to map is "Z".

However:

My network server is set up with 4 physical drives with several partitions and shares. All of the drives and partitions follow an old mapping system I've used for the past decade... It just so happens I mapped E:\ on the network server to be E:\ on the laptop.
It worked until the network drive was unavailable.; then the laptop balked. I'm sure that was never a problem with WinXP.

The fault seems to be in the drive letter mapping between network and removable drives not being resolved properly. If it fails it does not self-clean as it did in Windows XP.

USB drives can be mapped to specific drive letters... I only do that when a particular USB stick is used for say "Plans" and I want it to have the same letter (say P:\) on every computer in the hive. But plug in a fresh USB drive and then have to Disk Management
it... well... as you say: "frustrating"

Cheers,

Ian

 

Dont think so, here is net use syntax.


net use [{DeviceName | *}] [\\ComputerName\ShareName[\volume]] [{Password | *}]] [/user:[DomainName\]UserName] [/user:[DottedDomainName\]UserName] [/user: [UserName@DottedDomainName] [/savecred] [/smartcard] [{/delete | /persistent:{yes | no}}]

I have 2 NAS drives on my Router and just map those drives on the computers than need one or both, takes about 30 seconds. A key to making things easier is to have appropriate drive labels that are different from each other, mine are labeled as MyCloud1 and MyCloud2 with 1 being Y: and 2 being Z: in File Explorer and other file management programs such as Total Commander. By default Windows begins assigning drive letters to Networked drives beginning with Z: and working back up the alphabet but that is changeable on each computer.
