We have been Mapped Drive "free" for over 10 years because even 10+ years ago I thought they were a bad idea. We are just trying to mirror the current experience as best as possible.I agree completely with getting rid of any and all mapped drives. We actually have the libraries married to their Home Drives, with a couple exceptions that we can't sort out why the redirects aren't working.
#Mapped network drive full
The %homepath% will return the full path to your home directory while %homedrive% will return the root of the drive where your home directory resides. The variable you should try is %homepath% instead of %homedrive%. My suggestion is moving the home directory back to its defaults and replacing it with the folder redirection feature.īut if you still need the link to your home directory, please notice that I have updated my first post. And this approach was baptized as "the best practice". To make things more comfortable for users, techs started redirecting user Documents to the same location so that the default saving location for Office coincided with the location of user documents.
So when home directories were moved to the network, users noticed that Microsoft Office was always pointing to the home directory as the default file saving location. Now the idea behind moving home directories to the network was to centralize and allow users to carry their environments with them (just like roaming profiles but don't confuse them just because their default location was the same). The default location was in the local user profile folder (C:\users\max). Home directories were designed for multi-user environments, where each user could have a separate profile and separate "runtime environment".
#Mapped network drive windows
Again, if you are going to have your home drive on the network, then Windows WILL need a drive letter for it. I suggest you move the home directory back to local and use Folder Redirection for their Desktop and Documents instead. We are just trying to mirror the current experience as best as possible. Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.We actually have the libraries married to their Home Drives, with a couple exceptions that we can't sort out why the redirects aren't working.Backup to a Network Share Fails Due to Connection Failure.When using bootable media, always specify the UNC path to access the network share. When you map a network drive, it becomes mapped only under a respective Windows account on the local machine - and thus it is not accessible to Acronis services executed in the context of the system account. This restriction is built-in to Windows at the operating system level. Windows mapped network drives are not supported as they are mapped on a per-user basis and are not available for built-in accounts such as Local System or Network Service. The drive letters of the network drives are displayed, but it is not possibe to access the content.Backup via acrocmd command line tool to a mapped drive fails.Mapped drives are not listed/available in GUI (e.g.When you use Acronis software, you may observe the following:
You mount a network share as a Windows mapped drive in Windows Explorer or through the net use command.
