Topic: Mapping Network Drive Issue

[janet]

I am purely guessing, or giving my reasoned "hunch'.
More likely it is to do with your VM configuration, as many unusual issues seem to be related to "incorrect" VM setup, possibly network card related.

You could try sme7 on a real box & see if it works OK, as far as I know sme 7 does work OK. I'll have to test my copy, but that is on a standalone machine which I have not yet connected to a sme domain.

I'm sure someone else can confirm & comment.

My SME8 server is on a physical box, but my Win7 client is VM. I have it bridged to my network connection and the windows 7 box does not pick up the drives however the XP does.

One thing I wanted to add was that the logon script I tried to run was:

http://www.theforcefield.net/forums/index.php?topic=2416.0

because this one was not working:

http://wiki.contribs.org/Smeserver-tw-logonscript

Could that have anything to do with it? When I do a

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-tw-logonscript
signal-event workgroup-update

nothing works so I am wondering if I need to do a:

wget smeserver-tw-logonscript-1.3-15.el4.sme.noarch then do a yum install. Sorry I am not too familar with Linux

--------------------

Might I add: I just spun up a new SMESERVER 8 and tested the whole thing again with the logon script and its not mapping the home drive or the accounting drive. I think the issue has to do with this login script manager and maybe its an older version. Can anyone assist in getting a newer version working? Am I doing the command wrong?

Are you sure your VM Network connection is "bridged" not "NATed", if the latter, then the WIn7 will get an Ip address not on the same subnet as the SMEServer.

Check the Ip address of the Win7 VM (ipconfig at command level).

Just verified:

Windows 7 - Bridged
IP is on same subnet
Windows XP - Bridged
IP is on same subnet

XP works
Windows 7 isnt (Home drive nor accounting drive)

Well, I'm out of ideas, except to say that it looks like a Win7 problem (all my systems are still on XP).  Perhaps the script is run too early in the login procedure and the network is not properly established at that point.

Did you try the Windows 7 registry tweak on the Windows 8 system?

See Here

Actually that registry tweak is a mandatory addition should you want a windows 7 client to connect to the domain. Yes I did apply that in the beginning as well I was successfully able to attach to the domain.

At this point I am thinking about starting fresh and mapping all drives for all users. Then based on group access only the appropriate users will be able to access some drives. I realize its not the best solution but it will have to do. My go live is Monday!

Thanks for all your help.
