How to create a network drive letter to point to a false local drive on "C" drive instead? In otherwords, have a network drive"U" for users that would map to upon login, but that has been removed from gpo's but some software thisi is requiring the "U" drive to be there in order to run. I'm trying to see how to map a network drive to point to c:\users\CID\U-drive instead; is this possible with a script as a band aid till the software is updated in Q3 2023.
This is running on Win10 21H2 OS

We replicete some Windows and Linux VMs from Hyper-V to Azure
As a part of recovery preparation we need to change VMs params, e.g. size, nsg, resource group to be recovered into (different from ASR vault RG) via Set-AzRecoveryServicesAsrReplicationProtectedItem cmdlet
For windows it works well, but for Linux we're getting Failed to update the LicenseType for the physical or virtual machine.
We don't need to change anything related to license, just RG to be recovered into
Why this issue is happening and how can we workaround it?
the solution is to specify param -LicenseType to be NoLicenseType
TLDR: I had this working two days ago, my laptop's hard drive crashed & has been replaced, now I can't map to my 8TB drive that's attached to my router via USB.
For months (since Covid started & I've been WFH) I've been using an 8TB drive attached to my router via USB for storage, backup, etc. for my work files. My hard drive died in my Dell laptop a couple of days ago and has been replaced by IT today. Now that I have it home, I can't connect to the drive like I had before. I should be able to just open File Explorer in Win10 and enter \\192.168.1.1 and browse for shares. I can see that the shares exist on the drive via the router's web interface (Linksys 1900 AC WRT), but I can't get to the drive to access them. I'm connected to the same network as before (my home WIFI), my Macs and Roku can see the drive no problem, it's just this new install of Win10 on the new drive.
It's been a long day, and I'm bleary eyed, so I know I'm just missing something stupid, but I could use your guy's help figuring out what it is I'm missing.
The error message I get when trying to connect with the UNC above is:
Network Error
Windows cannot access \\\192.168.1.1\
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your
network. To try to identify & resolve network problems, click Diagnose.

I'm going to try #rzlvmp suggestion to enable SMB V1 and see what happens.
Guess No.1
That is possible that your router use samba v1. SMBv1 disabled on new windows versions. But you can enable it
I'm currently using AutoHotKey to create a variety of macros. I have two desktops side-by-side in a private (home) network. It is my desire to have the AHK Run command on PC1 make some sort of call to PC2. Both PCs are running Windows 10 (non-domain), and both use the same login credentials (same account via microsoft.com).
What I've tried: I have tried a few things, such as WMI, WinRM, schtasks. Each of these options work when dealing with non-interactive scripts. I am trying to call scripts that a) open GUI windows or b) send key strokes to PC2.
Other requirements:
The solution cannot require the password to be type in a prompt nor provided in the command-line call. The desired effect is that I press a button on my keyboard -> ahk command triggers -> script on PC2 is called.
As this network is shared with roommates (and whoever they allow to connect to our wifi), basic security is still a necessity.
This is not a language specific question - I am looking for the simplest/easiest/cleanest method. Thanks for reading.
Try a remote access connection app like TeamViewer. They allow you to control one PC from another across a network. https://www.teamviewer.com/en/
I have an astronomical observatory in my yard with four computers connected to all the observatory equipment. These four computers are controlled over my home network from one PC in the house.
The remote access app allows you to run an .exe on another computer which in my case is usually a compiled AHK script.
I have a number of tasks that require several PC's. A script running on the main PC will start secondary scripts on the observatory PC'c which in turn will send messages back and forth by sending text files to each others shared files. The PC receiving the text file will perform a specific action based on the message.
Here's a link to the observatory startup procedure. I a startup script on the main PC which turns on all the observatory equipment then starts a secondary startup script on each of the observatory PC's to load and position all the software and then connect all the cameras and associated equipment.

This just shows how the various scrips running on the observatory PC's load and position all the various app windows. Not exactly what you may need but it may give you some ideas about what you can do with the remote access software.

i have an old pc that has a network drive by netware 3.12 in dos 6.22 . i backup hard disk by microsoft disk2vhd and now have an vhd file. i add vhd file in virtualbox and dos successfully boot. i can input server command, but when i input server command show this error:
volume sys could not be loaded
some or all volume segments cannot be located
and virtualbox screen image:
why this error show? netware was successfully work in my old pc but in virtualbox does not work,why?
DOS works because it uses the VM BIOS to access HDDs. Netware for performance reason does not use the BIOS to access HDDs. What is likely happening is Netware does not have the required device driver to access the disk controller exposed by the VM. As a result Netware cannot find the SYS volume. I have never tried to install Netware in a VM so I am unsure where you'd go to find appropriate drivers.
I found the following that might be worth your while to explore to see if it can help: https://www.foxdogstudios.com/installing-netware-3-12-on-virtual-box
Most of our users have mapped drives to their local machines with the letters that I want to use to in a script that will map network drives to all users.
I will like to replace those letters with another letter and use my network letters to map their network drives.
I have a script to delete those letters and use the network drive letters I want but I do not want to delete their mapped drives, I just want to replace their mapped drives with another letter if the mapped drives is the same as the letter I want to use.
Please help!!
I think you should try the net use command in a batch file:

First delete the old connection and then create a new one...
