In Microsoft Windows, the WebDAV Drive Share Is Not Found
Symptoms
Microsoft Windows cannot find the WebDAV drive share, but the destination location is entered correctly.
Cause
Windows might be denying mapping of non-secure (http
) WebDAV locations.
Resolution
Enable mapping of non-secure WebDAV locations via the Windows registry:
- If you are running on Windows Vista, ensure that the Microsoft Web Folders patch Software Update from the Microsoft web site has been installed.
- Open the Windows registry editor. This can be done in the following Windows operating systems as described:
- Windows XP — go to Start
->
Run and then enterregedit
into the 'Run' dialog box. - Versions of Windows prior to Windows XP — use the same process for Windows XP, but enter
regedt32
into the 'Run' dialog box instead ofregedit
.
- Windows XP — go to Start
- Browse to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
key. (Refer to the WebDAV System web site reference for more information). - Find a DWORD/REG_DWORD entry named
BasicAuthLevel
and set its value to2
. - Restart your computer and try again.
