As I’m setting up the previously mentioned laptop I keep coming across minor tweaks needed to make everything work as expected. This is somewhat of an updated post back from 2007 (posted on a previous blog) when I first encountered WebDAV issues on Vista.
I wanted to map a new network location to our NetDrive, but as it didn’t work by default on a freshly installed Vista laptop I had to make the following changes:
1. Install Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306) (still not sure why this isn’t a required update)
2. Go to Local Security Policy –> Local Policies –> Security Options, click on Network security: LAN Manager authentication level and change it to Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated
That’s all, now I can establish a new network location (via WebDAV) to NetDrive by typing https://netdrive.montclair.edu/oneNet/NetStorage
