Sharing network mapped drives

Sharing network mapped drives


Category: Resource – Shares

When creating a new Agilicus share the Agilicus connector cannot see network mapped drives because it runs as the local system user, and not a logged in user. This means that it cannot see shares which are only typically mapped for logged in users. When this happens, if you browse to the share in profile, you will get a ‘list directory error’ as the connector cannot see the directory. In order to correct this, create a link to the network drive on a local drive eg mklink /D C:\myLink \\127.0.0.1\c$. Then use the link as the path for the Agilicus share, in the example C:\myLink.โ€‚You may also need to change the user which the connector runs as is in order to access the drive.
