Hi Guys,

I was suffering a weird problem about mapping network drive in Windows 8.1.

I ran the command "net use ...." to map a network drive and the command was running successfully. Then I used the "net use" command to check the status for the network drive mapped before, it showed good. But when I opened "my computer", I couldn't see the network drive mapped before in the explorer.

Hi there,

Are you mapping network drive from elevated command prompt? If so, try to use non-elevated cmd.

Hi,

After you created the mapped network drive with "net use", are you able to find the mapped driver letter information in the registry HKCU\Network?

Please also try to map the network drive via GUI tool under Explorer "Map network drive" option, check the result.

for net use command, please make sure that you've set the correct parameters

Actually I configure the log on policy in the domain for this script. For most of users, it is successful. Only for this user, it didn't work all the time. And I didn't find the registry entries in the registry HKCU\Network. It is really weird.

Hello,

use the command below:
net use z: \\networkshare /USER:domain\username password /PERSISTENT:NO

z:                    (mapped drive letter)
networkshare (Your share folder name)
domain            (your domain name)

Thanks

Hi,

According to your description, seems the policy is not applied to the user, I suggest you check the gpresult /r and RSOP to check the policy result.

You can check the scope of the GPO again to make sure that the use in included in the scope.

Or check the event viewer, see if there're valuable information recorded.
