Accessing Nas Drive As Extender?
« on: September 27, 2006, 09:04:00 AM »

The reason you cant see the mapped drives is because the 360 extender creates a new user account on the MCE05 pc, so if you map drives on the logged in user it wont work on the Extender Account.

The problem with the Extender account is that it is password protected (dont know what the password is, other people might), so you cant physically logon to it to make the changes.

The way around it for me was to create a logon script and then put it into the users account via group policy.

Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon

In here create a .bat file which will map the network drives (net use x: \\computer\share)

You can google for information on doing logon scripts.

Then i basically went to start -> run -> gpedit.msc

In group policy, find :

User Configuration
Windows Settings
Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
Logon

Add a new script and it should automattically browse to the C:\WINDOWS\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon directory.

Select the newly created logon script and then OK to all.

Now the network drives should start mapping for all the users including the MCE05 Extender Account.

I did notice though that it took more than one logon for the drives to start showing in MCE05.

Any problems let me know.

The streaming will still go via your computer, yes.
