    Mapping drives

    Hi Julie,

    This could be related to the User Account Control setup. We suggest that you review the UAC configuration for your drive servers. Here's a link

    Why are mapped drives available only with admin rights?

    I am using Windows 10 pro, version 1607, build 14393.321 the latest available at this date. Some network drives are mapped with domain group policy and logon scripts.

    Opening an elevated command prompt NET USE correctly displays the mapped drive.

    On the contrary opening a command prompt with user rights NET USE doesn't show the mapped drive.

    The user I made the test with is in the local administrator group.

    I know about EnableLinkedConnections registry key, I tried it but it doesn't work. Also, because it solves exactly the opposite problem, mapped drives which are not available with elevated rights.

    How can I resolve this?

    Elevated Command Prompt

    Hi Tommy,

    A command prompt is an entry point for typing computer commands in the Command Prompt window. By typing commands in an elevated command prompt, you can perform tasks that require administrator rights on your computer without using the Windows graphical interface.
    You may open an elevated Command Prompt by following the steps below.

    1. Open the Start menu, and type cmd to open the search box.

    2. When Command Prompt shows up in the search results, right click or press and hold on it, then click/tap on
    Run as administrator.

    Feel free to post your query should you need assistance.
