quasimodo Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I have a problem to access a network file. I have one folder on an USB stick sitting direct at my Fritz!Box NAS. If I mount it with the script Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'NET USE Z: \\fritz.box\FRITZ.NAS\FNAS password /user:user /PERSISTENT:NO', "", @SW_HIDE) everything is fine and I can access the drive Z: without any problem. I also have a folder in an external Nextcloud server. If I mount that with the script Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'NET USE Z: \\fritz.box\FRITZ.NAS\FNAS password /user:user /PERSISTENT:NO', "", @SW_HIDE) I can see the new drive Q: in Explorer and I can access it with apps without Admin rights, e.g. if I open "cmd" without Admin rights a 'dir Q:' will show the content, but if I open "cmd" with Admin rights, a 'dir Q:' generates the error message 'The system cannot find path specified'. The result is, that some application will find drive Q:, others do not. How can I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abberration Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 It is mapped on your user account, try also mounting the drive on the admin account, too. Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasimodo Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Sorry, the second script is Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'NET USE Q: https://servername/folder/ password /user:User /PERSISTENT:NO', "", @SW_HIDE) I'm running both scripts from an account with Windows admin rights.

spudw2k Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 ^ This From my experience if you map a drive with elevated perms, whether it is the same user account or not, you can not access the mapped drive without elevated perms; and vice versa. If you need to access the mapping with both elevated and non-elevated, you need to map it with both levels of privilege.

quasimodo Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Thanks everybody for their hints. Concerning the MS notes, I tried it all without success. I still would like to understand, why I have no problems to access the files on my FritBoxNAS - which is in my local network - and the other files in the external network. Could that be a problem because of Nextcloud rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
