Mapped drive randomly losing permissions: 0x80070035, The network path was not found.
Hello, I have a peculiar issue that comes up from time to time. We run multiple environments where there's a server that hosts a bunch of shared folders. The permissions are set to provide full Read/Write access to everyone. We then have a script that does a net share to all the computers with an assigned drive letter. The drives do properly map onto the host computers. This would hum along fine for weeks, sometimes months, but on random occasions, I would get the error box 0x80070035 The network path was not found. In checking the Sharing properties, I can see that it is still shared to everyone. Clicking Share again without making any changes fixes the broken permission. It would go to work again for however long and eventually break again in the future. The only way we know that it happens is when someone calls to report the issue to us, and the solution has always been the same thing, save the Network access permissions page. Anyone run into this issue and any thoughts on what we could do as a permanent resolution for this. Server is an R450 with 32GB Ram and a Xeon Silver 4310 processor operating Server 2019 Standard on Version 1809. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
Group Policy Objects - Drive Mapping with Passwords
Struggling to Map a Drive to an external source with a Username and Password through GPO. We are using SIMs as our MIS in school and use certain reporting features that require a mapped drive to the LAs Server, in legacy GPO you could map a drive with a username and password using the CPassword Attribute - but due to being a "known security risk" this was removed by Microsoft. Our users are restricted and have locked down profiles so dont have permission to map the drive themselves using the username and password and because of CPassword Attribute being removed from GPO we cannot map the drive? Any help in doing this through GPO?
