can't see the SBS Server or mapping a Drive:

Hello,

On my PC I have a dual boot.
With Win 7 Pro, I didn't have had any problem to map a drive to a SBS Server 2011 Standard.
Now with Win 10 I can do this. I also do not see SBS in the network map!
I can ping the server.
Do I missing a setup?

Many thanks for your help
Otto

Is it Win 10 Home or Win 10 Pro?

Being able to see it on the network map is irrelevant if the goal is to map
a drive letter.

I can ping the server.

So what happens when you try to map a drive letter to a folder on the SBS
server? Use \\1.2.3.4\foldername, where 1.2.3.4 is the actual SBS IP
address. Omit the foldername to see all of the shared folders available from
the root.

Back in Windows 7 Home Edition x64 SP-1, using either [My] Computer and
its "Map network drive" toolbar button or by using the "Tools - Map
network drive" menu in either My Computer or Windows Explorer (2 views,
same program), you could map a drive letter to a server path. That's
now missing in the Home Edition of Windows 10?

You might be correct in that Microsoft yanked away or hid another useful
feature. From the discussion at (about the Tech Preview):

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/i...0a8e178?auth=1

Looks like Microsoft changed policy to not show mapped drive features in
the Home version. I'm assuming Microsoft, as they have done in the
past, does not provide a policy editor in the Home edition. All
policies are registry entries. Jaeshik shows the registry entry you
have to change to exume the map drive feature.

According to Cantrell's reply, looks like Microsoft reversed the steps
to create a mapped drive. Used to be you first elected to create a
mapped drive, assigned a drive letter, and then went navigating to the
network folder to select it as the mapped drive on your end. Now it
looks like you first navigate to the folder and then elect to make it a
mapped drive on your end.

As mentioned there, you can also use the "net use" command to map a
drive letter to the networked folder. I also found some info about a
"security change" in a TP version (which may have propagated to the
released version):

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/i...f-4d50100c1841

That reminded me that you might want to set up or match accounts at the
target (server) host if you want to regulate who can connect there.
Probably because of the change regarding guest account connects, another
user in the prior article mentioned had to set AllowInsecureGuestAuth
registry entry to 1. I don't see that registry data item back in
Windows 7 (but then a missing entry means using its default) so perhaps
it is a new policy for Win10 regarding the guest security change.

It is Win 10 Pro!

Just a guess but are both devices set for the same Workgroup or Homegroup?

Rather than checking under network, try just checking under Computers
and see if the server is showing up as a "PC" type device. Some servers
show up as a "PC" rather than under the network category. If it does
try clicking on it and map the drive from there.
