I have a Drobo set up as a network drive -via droboshare - everything works fine, however applications (specifically backup software, drobo copy or Bonkey) cannot see the dirve which is mapped to z: when the application are set to run as administrator.
Drobocopy requires this so turning it off is not an option. Bonkey doesn't but I am having issues running it and I think turning it on might help. Any ideas? I have tried turning off my firewall but that hasn't helped.
I was given a computer by my employers. It's an outdated model, and they were going to toss it, but my old one had recently broken, so they gave it to me. The problem is, it's still attached to their network, and I am blocked from getting admin rights on it. I've tried all of the standard ways to bypass this, DOS commands, the sticky keys trick, trying to enable the hidden admin account, ect, but they actually went through and blocked all of those as well. I don't have anything important on here, so if the only way is to wipe the computer, I can do that, but I can't find my Windows 7 disk. If there isn't a way to get admin rights on the system as is, is there a way to wipe the system, but retain the OS that doesn't involve downloading programs to do it for me
I am allowed to make myself an admininstrator while on the network or off the network but the next time (which is the second, the first time is to make the changes), my administrator rights disappear. I have added myself as an admininstrator in every way listed I think on all threads with no luck.
I was on the permissions for drive C, because I didn't want standard user changing setting on there and when I clicked OK windows came up with an error and then when I tried to go back on to the permission change window it said " access denied" and I Now can't Change it back, I Can't do anything with admin features and I can't system restore.
Run-as local admin doesn't quite work. I also started the initialization process then gave the drive back to the user to finish formatting in NTFS. However, the HD is 2 tb and he only got to 10 mb before Windows 7 quits and shoots failed error.
i have two hard drives on my computer both with windows 7 professional installed, now my main hard has gone on the blink and wont load up unless in safe mode, due to this i just hit f12 and swapped drive but i can not remember my password to log on and i am the only user with admin rights on the second hard drive, in saying this i can log on as a normal user, also i can log in my first drive as a admin user and search the second hard drive.my question is can i access a file to change my password as the admin user or make the user i can log on with into an administrator.
I installed Windows7 recently. I was changing permissions and accidently denied authenticated users to C drive. I was logged in as admin which is the only account. Now I cant access anythig in C Drive and cant execute any thing. I tried through safe mode as well but of no use. How can I regain access or reset permissions.
I am trying to change the folder properties of a applications folder from read only. I am doing this per instructions from the apps provider to prevent crashes.
When I go to change the permissions it states I need admin privileges. The only account I have on the box is the admin however I did change the name to something besides admin. The account is definitely an admin account.
My problem is that even though I have only one user account defined on my machine and it is set to "Administrator" it is not being allowed to do admin types of things like deleting folders. I tried to create a user group but that's not an option on the Win7 Home Premium version that I use. How can it be that the sole account is not the admin even though it shows that it is in the account user setup?

I have a External USB Drive that is Networked as a Network Drive, Windows7 will not allow me to disconnect the drive. The only option Seagate gave was to make sure the drive was not indexing which it's not, my goal is to disconnect the drive, connect it to another computer etc Followed by reconnecting it back to the previous computer and it continues on as a network drive or if I connect it to another computer it continues to act as network drive. Seagate told me that I'd have to purchase their NAS drive which I didn't want too.

I wanted to know if its possible to map a folder from my web-hosting account as a drive on Windows 7. I know I can map an FTP folder - but that gets mapped as a folder and NOT as a drive. The reason why I want to map something as a drive is so that I can use it for cloud storage.
Services like DropBox are blocked at my workplace so unfortunately I cannot use them and hence I am looking to map a folder from my personal web-hosting as a drive on my computer.
My web-hosting is a basic PHP-MySQL hosting with cPanel version 10.
Is it possible to pin a program to the task bar from a network drive. I right click and the option is not there. didn't know if there was a way around it?
recently moved a 1 Tb drive off my main computer and set it up as USB external drive on my Linksys E4200 router.I would like to add a folder on this drive to my 'pictures' library in Win 7. Messages tell me I cannot because it is not indexed. Context menu on the drive/folder dose not give option to index nor does the Windows Search allow me to add the networked drive as a location to be searched. Is there a workaround that can make the off-line drive searchable from my Win 7 machine?
In my new laptop, I have migrated to 7, but the majority of my data are still on my XP computer. I tired to used "Map Network Drive" from within the 7 machine to map the C drive of the XP machine, but unsuccessful!the the workgroup on both machines is the same = WORKGROUP also from 7, I can remotedesktop the XP machine with all local drives available remotely. previously, I have mapped between XP machines with no problem, but Im wondering this time why it doest work. is it due to 7-XP incompatibility(!??) or something?
I am using 2 Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machines and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32 bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.
The network works very well with one issue. When I add a new folder on one machine and try to access that new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I must disconnect the network drive from the machine with the new folder then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder displays in Windows Explorer on the second machine.
This is very frustrating when I want to add an email attachment file from another machine and it won't display until I disconnect and re-map the drive.

So i plan on getting that Network Drive. Is there a way i can access it from anywhere over the internet without the pogo service or any other service, or if anything, a free service?
I'm connected to my college network via VPN and would like to map a network drive. When I try to access the share on the network form 'RUN', it sure does ask me the username/password credentials, but I understand the domain is the problem here.The domain it's trying to use is apparently wrong and I'm not able to change it. Any ideas? The domain it's giving is Domain : <Windows 7 system username>-PC Which is not what I want. I'm not able to change it as well EDIT:I just gave the domain name as part of the username and it worked! For example : username : Campususerid
I am trying to map a network drive with an address like this: Quote: [URL] It's basically a folder on the school network, I can access this folder and view its contents perfectly fine through an internet browser, but when I try to map a network drive to it, it doesn't work, I keep getting errors like this: Quote: A device attached to the system is not functioning Why do I keep getting this message? And why am I able to access that folder through a browser but not through windows? I am using Windows 7 btw.
I have a small-business network set up, which is basically just a shared drive. The server is running Windows NT, and when I try to connect to it, my laptop (running Windows 7) asks for a username and password. I've entered the default ones for the router, and I don't know of any other password protections on the network. Any ideas?
Running Windows 7 Home Premuim ....running on a laptop wirelessly.
I have 2 network drives one I can access with no problem the other it keeps asking for my password but says it is incorrect. I have a a wired Win XP system that can access both network drives with no problem.
Seems it is something with the accounts and persmissions on the Win 7 system. I have played with all combinations. At a loss.
