![]() So now we can import our WebDAV drive mapping into Environment Manager. ….and oddly enough, this seems to work! Whatever the legacy net use command calls under the hood allows it to connect up to the WebDAV location where the New-PSDrive cmdlet can’t. Let’s not forget that PowerShell also supports old legacy commands, so will using these make any difference? Why don’t we try this from PowerShell… The -PSProvider switch (which can be FileSystem, Registry or Certificate) doesn’t appear to cut it with WebDAV – you get the error “ drive root does not exist or it’s not a folder“. New-PSDrive -Persist -Name L -Root -PSProvider FileSystem Well, there is the cmdlet New-PSDrive, which (when combined with PowerShell 3.0, which allows you to use the -Persist switch to make the mapping available beyond the PS session) looks like it may do the business… …which is rather annoying, seeing as though GPP can do it without issue. ![]() Unfortunately, the native AppSense Environment Manager Action does not support the path to the WebDAV share… However, as most AppSense DesktopNow customers generally use Group Policy to manage the devices, and DesktopNow to manage the users (some use DesktopNow for both users and devices, in my experience), we need to find a way of doing this through Environment Manager itself. However, given that Windows XP is out of support anyway, maybe you should be thinking about problems other than mapped drives, in that situation?Ĭonnecting to the share via a mapped driveįirst of all, it is easy enough to configure a mapped drive for a WebDAV using Group Policy Preferences – this is supported natively by Microsoft’s tools… We are dealing with Windows 7 / 2008 R2 and newer clients in this article, so you may have to perform some further actions to get this to work on older platforms. HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevelĮxists and is set to a REG_DWORD value of 2. If you encounter any additional issues around https paths, ensure that the Registry value below:. ![]() It’s worth noting here that WebDAV over https will only work if KB907306 is installed, so if it is an https path you are connecting to, you will need to ensure that this in place. WebDAV is mainly used for file sharing, in the same way that FTP can be. Operating at this level allowed WebDAV shares to be accessed via drive letters and UNC paths from Explorer, via any piece of software. It was built in to Windows 2000, and Windows XP added a Web Client service which functioned as a WebDAV mini-redirector. Windows added client support back in Windows 98 which some of you may remember seeing as an OLE folder titled “Web Folders”. Lots of operating systems have built-in WebDAV support. It’s an extension of http that essentially makes web documents a readable and writeable medium. WebDAV stands for Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV, from now on). However, as document management systems become more and more commonplace, we may see more of this, so I thought it would be a useful exercise to document. This wasn’t something I’d come across before, so it’s not necessarily a common requirement. I had a requirement recently to set up a mapped drive for a WebDAV share. Solution Workarounds are documented in the KB2668751 article.I’m still stuck trying to complete the world’s most infuriating post – one on setting up a default Windows 8.1 Start Screen – so while I struggle against this, I thought I would put out something a bit shorter and sweeter that I actually know might work ?
