Windows 7 Disappearing Network Drive Mappings


Recommended Posts

I couldn't find a post about this, but if this has been answered it would help a lot!

 

We recently did a migration to be an enterprise WAN a few months ago and one issue we have been dealing with is the fact that mapped network drives will disappear from 'Computer'. The computers are plugged in via ethernet and all have connectivity to the network.

 

For example, one time I had a user request for a drive to be mapped to their computer (this user had about 10 drives mapped), when I mapped the requested drive all of the network drives disappeared. If you manually navigate to any of the drive letters (V:\, X:\, etc) the drive is still mapped, and by clicking on map network drive, in the drive letter drop down everything is there.

 

tl;dr: Map a network drive, all network drive letters disappear but will show as used in 'Map Network Drive' and still accessible.
