map DBA drive no longer works after windows update
08/20/18 at 11:50:22

One of our workstations got a windows update on Friday and we found the dba/evo shortcuts no longer worked this morning. I thought I would just remap the drive but the server does not show even in browse. This workstation is connected to the server because I can get to our other shared doc (mapped) drives. The DBA.drive is the only drive that appears not to connect.

All other workstations are fine. We think this work station may have been changed during a windows update Friday afternoon but that might just be a coincidence.

I have tried various ways to re-map the network drive with no luck.

Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks,
Laura

Evo does't require you have a mapped drive you can use the UNC path ....(example X:\DATA\DBAMFG). Re installing the workstation setup for EVO is not a bad idea either.

For DBA point the icon to \\servername\share\dbamfg\tp5wdba.exe (whatever your server name and share are) and for Evo, edit the paths in the C:\ISTS\TASPRO7.INI to reflect the full UNC path rather than a mapped drive.
