A Drive Mapping Fails Through the Proxy Server (164143)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q164143 SYMPTOMS
When you try to map a drive through the Proxy Server, the map fails.
CAUSE
Proxy Server has two components, one is a CERN-compliant HTTP proxy (the
web proxy), and the other is a general-purpose application gateway for
WinSock applications (the Winsock proxy).
The Microsoft Windows redirector is a kernel application, not a user-mode
Winsock application; therefore, you cannot use the Proxy Server to connect
to remote shares. Other applications that depend on the Windows redirector
(such as User Manager, Server Manager, or Performance Monitor) will also
fail through the Proxy Server.
WORKAROUND
Free web-based administration tools that will work through the Proxy Server
are available for Microsoft Windows NT Server from http://www.microsoft.com
