Mounting WebDAV drive in Windows Server 2012












8















I having problems mounting a webdav drive via explorer or cmd with the following command:



net use z: "https://.." /user:username password

System error 67 has occured.
The network name cannot be found.


Everything working fine on my other machines.
Thought I had to install the "Desktop Experience" Feature but cant find it in Server Manager / Add Features. I`ve already added the "Media Foundation" Feature and the "WebDAV Publishing" is even installed with IIS. I cant find the WebClient Service in services.msc.



Any suggestions, how enable client side webdav support?

          Just solved this on a 2012 R2 for connecting a WebDAV drive from OwnCloud 7 server via HTTPS (think it's same on 2012)




          1. Install Desktop Experience


          server manager > Add Features > User Interfaces and Infrastructure > Desktop Experience




          1. Start and set to Automatic WebClient Service


          services > WebClient > Properties > Set from Manual to Automatic then start it




          1. Enable BasicAuthLevel in regedit


          open regedit.exe and go to this key
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesWebClientParameters



          set the DWORD value "BasicAuthLevel" to "1"




          1. reboot

          2. connect to your WebDAV


          net use z: "https://.." /user:username password

          Here is the solution to this problem for Windows Server 2016:





          1. Install WebDAV-Redirector component via PowerShell



            Install-WindowsFeature WebDAV-Redirector –Restart



          2. Verify that WebDAV-Redirector is installed properly



            Get-WindowsFeature WebDAV-Redirector | Format-Table –Autosize


          3. WebClient service should appear in your system. By default it is started in Manual mode, just set it to Automatic and that's it.


          4. Reboot

            For a Server 2012R2 Essentials, penzoiders' answer does not work because Essentials does not have the server manager and I couldn't find a way to install the Desktop Experience through Dashboard.



            However, the installation via PowerShell described in the IT Bros link in Suncatcher's answer also works on Server 2012R2 Essentials:



            Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience


            Right after the reboot I was finally able to mount Magentacloud via WebDAV.

                      For a Server 2012R2 Essentials, penzoiders' answer does not work because Essentials does not have the server manager and I couldn't find a way to install the Desktop Experience through Dashboard.



                      However, the installation via PowerShell described in the IT Bros link in Suncatcher's answer also works on Server 2012R2 Essentials:



                      Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience


                      Right after the reboot I was finally able to mount Magentacloud via WebDAV.
