My Mapped Drive Does Not Show Up When Setting the Workspace Root for a Workspace Override

Problem

When configuring ProjectWise workspace override settings in an iCS for i-models job, the mapped drive does not show up in the list of drives when you browse for a workspace root off the Workspace Settings dialog.

Reason

On Windows Server 2012 R2, a drive that is mapped using Windows Explorer will not be detected.

Solution

On Windows Server 2012 R2, map drives from the command line using the NET USE command.

For example:

  1. Open a command prompt using the Run as administrator option.
  2. Enter the following command:
    net use X:\\computername\sharename

    where X is the drive letter you want to assign to the shared resource.
