Windows 10: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.

We have a couple of work stations that cannot map to a local file storage server. Most other computers have no problems.


Getting the error:

"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:

The specified server cannot perform the requested operation."


These same computers that cannot map to this drive have not problems reaching network printers, etc. Just seems to be this one server.


We've tried everything we know to do. How do we fix this?

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation


axe,

Before I retire for the morning and before I forget:
- a few sites suggest running SFC in Safe mode to resolve the Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation issue.

It doesn't seem as though that would make a difference, but it is easy enough to try.

skeetz,

The install.wim file should be in the sources folder on the thumbdrive you created.




Rather than try and find it, please download a fresh ISO from Techbench

Scroll down to the ISO download section






- make sure that you select the drop down picks that match your system
Your system specs are sparse I can't tell

Edition: Windows 10 (probably)
Language: English (possibly)
[ 32-bit Download ]
??? --- or --- ???
[ 64-bit Download ]

Press the correct bit-depth button to start the download

When it finishes downloading, just mount it (double click)

look in the sources folder to make sure you see an install.wim file

If you don't see it, select all in the File Explorer window,
Select Copy Path on the Home menu (ribbon)
Then past the copy into a post.

No rush skeetz ... axe might want to continue with things in already motion ... I'll defer to him
I'm hitting the hay - it's 05:30 here

Thanks all.

 

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested Operation

In working through the triage tree to fix a windows update error, I got the dreaded "windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation" while attempting sfc/scannow.

I've tried every single one of the fixes I can find to this error, safe mode, fixing permissions etc. According to the triage tree I am following, the next step is reinstall the OS.

Is that true, a reinstall my only option? Are there any good tools to preserve all the user data and programs on the corrupted Windows 7 Machine.

This machine is part of a Server 2012 domain if that is relevant.

Thanks, it's easier for members to help if you just put the info directly in a post.
