10 - Windows Server 2012 Map Network Drive to Client Computer (Video in Khmer)

Hello my friend! Today I show you step-by-step how to Map Network Drive to Client Computer on Windows Server 2012 R2 inside VMware! Mapping network drive creates direct drive letter (like Z:) inside File Explorer so users can open shared server files easily without typing network path every time! Very easy to follow with video tutorial in Khmer! Let's get started!

💡 Tip: Before mapping network drive, ensure your folder on server is already shared and user account has proper Share & NTFS permissions to access folder!

Method 1: Map Network Drive Using Command Line (net use)

You can map network drive quickly using Command Prompt on client PC:

1. Open Command Prompt (cmd) on client computer.

2. Map shared folder to drive letter Z::

   net use Z: \\192.168.1.10\SharedFolder /persistent:yes
   

   • Z:: Mapped drive letter to show in File Explorer.
   • \\192.168.1.10\SharedFolder: Network path of shared folder on server.
   • /persistent:yes: Keeps network drive mapped automatically every time client computer reboots!

3. To disconnect or delete mapped drive:

   net use Z: /delete
   

💡 Tip: Always include /persistent:yes flag when using net use command! Without this flag, mapped drive will disappear when user logs off or restarts PC!

Method 2: Map Network Drive Automatically via ADUC User Profile

To automatically map network drive for domain user upon login:

1. On Domain Controller, open Server Manager > Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers (dsa.msc).
2. Right-click domain user (example: sok.sao) > select Properties.
3. Click Profile tab at top menu.
4. In Home folder section, select Connect.
5. Choose drive letter (example: Z:) and enter network path: \\192.168.1.10\Share\%username%
6. Click Apply > click OK.
7. When user logs in on client PC, drive Z: will appear automatically in This PC!

💡 Tip: Using %username% variable in AD Home folder path automatically creates folder with employee name and assigns correct user permission automatically!
