Windows 10: Mapped Samba drive does not reconnect

Out of the 15 computers i have in our office, 4 do not reconnect to our UNIX server via Samba upon log on

I have SMB 1.0/CIFS Client and Server enabled on all machines. 4 do not reconnect on startup, not sure why only 4, but that is the case.

This is a public drive on our network. I have even gone and specifically add the static ip addresses of every computer to Samba for the mapped drive, but still the same four computers do not want to reconnect.

Mapped Drives Issues

I am running Windows 10 Pro Version 1903 OS Build 18362.900. This is my home computer running in a work group. I have two NAS devices on the network. All of my home computers have mapped drives pointing to the two NAS devices. All of the computers except my main machine have no issues with the mapped drives.

On may Main machine the mapped drives would never reconnect when I booted the machine. The drives would appear windows explorer's left hand frame with a red X. If I clicked on the either of the two drives, Windows would pop-up a message saying there was an error reconnecting but then would proceed to connect and display the drive contents in the right hand frame of Windows Explore. After that the red X would disappear and they would function as normal.

Two days ago Windows explore stopped displaying the mapped drives. I can ping the drives. I see the drives under the network tab. If I right click on the NAS drive and then click open the drive folders display in Windows Explore. If I try to re-map the drives, Win Explore says they are already mapped and displays them in the mapped list. If i use the "Net Use" command it displays the two mapped drives indicating that they are already mapped. I've tried the "disconnect network drive" option and then re-added the network drives.

I still can't get the drives to list in the the left hand drive list in Windows Explorer. It's a real pain to go thru the network devices -> right click -> open sequence every time I need to access the NAS drives.

How can I fix this issue?

 

Reconnecting an unconnected driver

Hi Quad,

Looks like your S Drive has been disconnected. In order to reconnect to the drive, let's map that specific drive again. Follow these steps:

• Right-click the Windows key and select File Explorer.
• Click This PC.
• On the top, click the Computer tab, then select Map network drive.
• Once the Map Network Drive wizard opens, choose a letter for the drive, and browse or type in the path to the drive.
• Make sure also to check the box Reconnect at sign-in.
• Click Finish.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.
