Can not access all network drives

Can not access all network drives

avatar

Hello,

with RDM 8 I have the problem that I can not access all network drives. I have 5 network drives, all come frome the same storage (this are cifs shares from an NetApp).

I want to embed KeePass logins which are located at one of the inaccessible drives. With RDM 7 it worked fine, now with version 8 it does not work.

Any ideas to that?

Cheers, Tom

What RDM 8.0 version exactly do you use? We have made a fix for that recently. Could you try the latest one 8.0.3.0?

I think I'll upgrade to the latest version right away.

I have already 8.0.3.0 installed.

Is it when you have an RDP session? What error message do you have?

Sorry for my late reply.

It happens when I want to add an embedded credential to an SSH session. I select KeePass as source, set the path to the database manualy, click on the 3 dots "..." to select the path to KeePass - at this point I miss 2 of 5 network shares.


The problem still exists in version 8.0.5.0.

Could you try the v8.0.5.0 to confirm that it still there?

Could you send an email to support at devolutions.net with the Dialog where the paths are missings?

Ok, I did so.

I found a solution for that problem, it´s the UAC. I start since version 8 RDM as administrator (don´t ask me why - I forgot :cool:)

So we have two solutions:

1. Don´t start RDM as administrator or different user account

or

2. Starting the RDM as administrator causes the application to execute under a different user token, and in turn it means that you have a totally different set of mapped drives.
To get windows to share the list of mapped drives between different users, you need to make a registry change.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Under that key create a DWORD value named:
EnableLinkedConnections
And set it to 1 and reboot.
