Hi Jeff, I faced similar problem. Just mapping the drives will not work. Shares get disconnected whenever there is a network outage. Finally CIFS was the only solution in our case.
Here is a work around... Which I did not try. Just have a look. Looks like it needs a system account privilege , which uses sysinternals suite. http://serverfault.com/questions/426288/permanently-mount-network-share-without-the-need-for-log-on-windows John Sent from my iPhone On Aug 25, 2014, at 4:34 PM, "Lightner, Jeff" <[email protected]> wrote: > I have two data deduplication devices that do NAS style shares.
