    Network drive not accessible for the same network users multiple times per week


    At my company we have several network drives that get automatically mapped through GPO when network users sign in. For longer than I have been with the company we have had an issue with specific users not being able to access a specific network drive. I apologize for the lack of knowledge in regards to proper terminology, but the network drive in question holds a plethora of folder shortcuts that lead to folders on different servers. The DFS server is running windows server 2016. When this issue occurs the users are able to connect to the network drive and see all of the folders and shortcuts,

    Restrict Network Drive Access to User

    Hi Beach,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if there network discovery option is enabled on the computer.



    To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

    • When you say that "kids have a local account", is the child account configured as standard user account on the computer?


    I suggest you to follow the steps below to hide the network discovery of the computer in the shared network.

    1. Click on Search bar.

    2. Type "HomeGroup" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

    3. Then click on Change Advanced sharing settings.

    4. Expand Private.

    5. Turn off network discovery.

    5. Expand Guest or Public.

    6. Then turn off network discovery
    option.

    7. Click on Save changes button.

    Please get back to us with an update on issue with restricting network drives to the child account, we will be happy to help.



    Thank you.

    Network drive not accessible for the same network users multiple times per week

    Access network drive after autologin with another user not possible

    Hello together,

    I´ve got the following problem:

    The PC I´m talking about is configured with a general autologon user. Is the user logged in, he has the possibility to connect to a network drive to access his specific files with the personal user, which are stored on the server . Before the user get´s
    access, he is asked for his credentials. Now there are three different situations that occured:

    1. I have access
    2. I have no access (Failure report: "You cant access \xxxxx\xxx..... . You don´t have the rights for the access to...")
    3. First I have no access, after about ~5 minutes I got access.

    I´m not sure, but I think it could be that he get my credentials, but nevertheless accesses the network drive with the rights from the general autologon user, not from the personalized user.

    If I log off the general user after autologon and log in with my personal user on the PC, there are no problems with the access. But unfortunaly this is not a solution.

    Anyone with the same problem or with some suggestions to solve this problem?

    Best regards!
