Mapped Drives Issues

To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.

 

Can't find the SMB Mapping by winrm

When I use the following steps to make a SMB mapping, I can't find the SMB mapping when I log in the windows.

1. start windows remote manage service on the object windows node. The operation system of object windows node is Win10.

2. make a python script like this and run it

python script:

[table][tr] import winrm s = winrm.Session(http://server_ip/wsman, auth=(administrator, password), transport='ntlm', server_cert_validation='ignore') command = 'net use z: \\\\share_server_ip\share' res = s.run_ps(command) print(res.std_out)[/tr][/table]
[note]: service_ip is the ip of the object windows node in step 1

3. login the windows node without remote mode, and run "net use" in the command line. I'll find the state of SMB mapping which is mounted by step 2 is unavailable.

My question is why and how to make the SMB mapping which is available for anyone?

 

Cannot 'Map Drive' to share on NAS after Windows 10 update

Just for the record I solved this:

• Opened 'Turn Windows Features on or off' in Control Panel.
• Enabled SMB 1.0/CIFS File sharing support
• Rebooted
• All shares on NAS can now be mapped.
