|
|
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\ |
