I am having a nasty problem and i can't figure out what's causing it.
We use DEM to create drivemappings. One of the drivermappings isn't being created and shows an error in the flexengine.log
[ERROR] Drive mapping refers to local drive 'H' (Homedir.xml)
To me it looks like driveletter H is occupied at the moment DEM is trying to create the drivemapping.
When i do a -UemRefreshDrives after login, the mapping is created.
I have looked in the golden image and there is no H: drive in use, only C: and sometimes 😧 (cdrom)
Does anyone have some tips where to look for a solution?
Hi SummaCollege,
You could try to investigate with a Before profile archive import Logon Task, running something like cmd.exe /c DIR H:\ >"%USERPROFILE%\H-DIR.txt". Maybe it shows something that helps find the culprit. (Be sure to configure a timeout so it does not cause your logon to hang .)
If it works post-logon, you could work around this by using the Disable DEM Drive Mappings during logon policy setting from the advanced ADMX template (or the NoAD equivalent equivalent UEMActionDriveMappingDuringLogon="0") and launching a drive mapping refresh at a later stage.
DEMdev Thanks for your tip!
I used your tip to find the culprit and when looking at the created .txt file i saw the following:
Volume in drive H is CVApps
Volume Serial Number is AEE0-8B16

To me it looks like an appstack or writable is attached before login and is using drive letter H: and a bit further in the process the driveletter is released as it is not visible afer login.
We do use Writable Volumes and Appstacks so that makes sense, but i never had any issues with driveletters before.
Do you have any idea what could be te cause of this?
These are the registry settings on HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\svservice\Parameters
Hi SummaCollege,
Is that H: drive maybe just hidden from File Explorer? That is, can you still DIR it from a command prompt within the session?
W.r.t. why you did not encounter this before, I guess you're better off in the App Volumes forum. I'm DEMdev, sorry .
