Configuring Mapped Drives

If migrating PST, EML, MBOX, Groupwise archives, NSF files or file system files from a mapped drive using multi server, the following must be configured in order for the CloudM Migrate service to be able to access the drive(s).

Create a Batch File

A batch file (.BAT) should be created on the secondary server(s) containing the following command:

net use z: "\\servername\sharedfolder" /persistent:yes /user:username password

Create a Scheduled Task

There are 2 methods that you can choose from:

• Create a Scheduled Task using Task Scheduler
• Create a Scheduled Task using SysInternals PSTools

Create a Scheduled Task using Task Scheduler

• Open Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc), select Create Task and enter a Name.
• Under the Security option, select Change User or Group and enter SYSTEM then OK.

• Go to the Triggers tab and select New
• Change 'Begin the task:' to At startup and select OK

• Go to the Actions tab and select New
• Set Action to Start a program and browse to your BAT file

• Select OK and restart the machine. The drive will then be mapped on startup and accessible to CloudM Migrate.

• The drive may show as disconnected in Explorer but the migration will still work.

Create a Scheduled Task using SysInternals PSTools

• Download PSExec in the migration server and extract the zip file from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
• Open an elevated (run as administrator)  Command Prompt and navigate to the unzipped PSExec folder

• Run psexec -i -s cmd.exe

• Whoami will confirm that you're logged in as SYSTEM

• Run net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes to connect to the shared drive as the SYSTEM User
