I have several Windows 10 computers here and have Vice Versa tasks set up and VVSEngine runs those tasks at the appointed times.

I just set up a new TrueNAS server with an SMB share. None of my computers automatically run in admin accounts. I have found that Vice Versa can't see the mapped drive even though it shows up in Explorer as a mapped drive. On a couple machines I was able to use the UNC path and that worked.

I found an article that said something abou the UNC blocking it. It recommend a registry entry.

Open the registry editor (regedit.exe);
Go to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System;
Create a new parameter (DWORD type) with the name EnableLinkedConnections and the value 1 ;

With one machine, this doesn't work. The drive will not show up in VV from the non admin account. I have tried the path which is visible in Explorer and manually entered that:
T:\Backup\Joel

That fails, I can't browse to that path from ViceVersa, it doesn't show up.

I have tried the UNC path

\\192.168.0.11\Texas\Backup\Joel\

That also fails even though I can type that into the Windows explorer and that will take me there.

What can I try to get this working? It is driving me nuts???

I'll work through the other options, but the EnableLinked connections fix is something that works on every other machine here, but not that one.

I found that this works from ViceVersa in elevated mode:

\\?\UNC\TrueNAS1\Texas\Backup\Joel\

It could be a Windows Network security or setup.
