Not picking up newly mapped drives.

Post by dmaker »

New user here. I purchased a pro license for this and installed it on a Windows Server 2019 box. So far the product is great, but then I mapped a new drive on the Windows server and XYplorer does not see it. This was surprising as it detected existing mapped drives fine during and after install, but it will not see this newly mapped drive.

This seems like a pretty critical weakness. Please tell me there is some sort of fix for this.

If there is no fix for this, would there be a refund possible? I'm still within the trial period. I only installed it yesterday, but if it will not see any newly mapped drives going forward, then that's a pretty firm deal breaker and a shocking weakness in this product. imo

First, execute this from the address bar (paste the script line from the codebox below into it and hit {ENTER}):
text get("#489") . "|" . get("#488");
Show the result

Ok,

Remove that new share.

Execute this from a command prompt with admin permissions:

Code: Select all

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableLinkedConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d "0x00000001" /f
Restart the PC, create the share again.

Does XY pick it up?

Thank you for the response. I will have to update later as this drive is involved in a large copy operation at the moment.

That did work. Thank you!

Apologies on the late reply. I was copying 800 GB over 1 Gbe LAN.
