"at the webinterface" means, that you log into your snapserver management interface (you call the ip-adress or the hostname of the server in your browser), where you can administrate the snapos-settings...

another idea to solve all problems with the snapserver (not tried and only theoretical) and
only a short and dirty explanation of my thinking:

what about this way:

- create only one big share at the snapserver and get sure you are able to use the share from windows
- load and install truecrypt from TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows XP/2000 and Linux
- open truecrypt and format the drive (the share from the snap) with ntfs

after waiting some cups of coffee it should be ready to use, reboot snap, reboot windows and start truecrypt. after that try to mount the share.
now there should be a network share with ntfs

if this operation fails, you can format the drives using the snapos...

at the moment there is no truecrypt version for vista, but if it will be available, I'll test this at my own snap.

I repeat: only a theory, don't know, if it works or will kill the snap, you should make a backup-image of your snapos (like mentioned at wiki.procooling.com).

If somebody would try this before myself, would be happy about a short information, if it works...

This worked great. Thanks for summarizing!

Hi all!

I just wanted to say a huuuuuuge thank you to Ian for your last post! I've been struggling with this problem for months since our beloved directors decided that we had to have Vista to be seen as modern and "IT with it!"
The change has been one problem after another but i can finally cross this one off my list!

Thanks again.

Thank you so much to Ian D and Tony. Your step-by-step instructions helped me to get a new Vista laptop to communicate with my company's Snap Server 1100. Much kudos to you guys! -- Eric

Hi, all. The fantastic suggestions here helped me successfully connect my Vista Business machine to my Snap 4100, but every time I reboot my PC the drive fails to reconnect.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix that?

Also, the Snap in our domain is configured to grant permissions to any authenticated domain user, so when I map the Snap should I use my personal username and pw for the domain or the admin username and and pw?

Thanks!

To Ian D,

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You definitely did save me many hours.

Greatly appreciated,
Andrew

We have the 2200 Snap Server and this is how I got it to map, after Vista would not map it.

In explorer, click Tools, Map Network Drive. Then in the location, I typed:

\\192.168.22.10\share1

share1 is the name of our snap server and the IP is obviously the IP.

The slashes done that way was what was different, that's all. And adaptec tried to tell me I can't use the Snap with Vista!

somebody buy this guy a drink on me. Thank you for an excellent post which saved me time ( although I had already wasted an hour or two). Perfect set of simple instructions.

hi, thanks for all your help here.
just one more thiing: i did not fiind an answert to: how to delete non empty folders.
is there any way i can solve that problem? my vista just does not do that.
thanks
