Symptoms







Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7.

  • You map a network drive on the computer.

  • You connect to a domain controller by using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in from the computer.

  • You right-click the Domains node, and then you select Manage Backups. Or, you right-click a Group Policy object (GPO), and then you select Back Up to back up the object.

  • In the Manage Backups dialog box or in the Back Up Group Policy Object dialog box, you click Browse to select a backup location.

In this scenario, you cannot find the network drive in the Browse For Folder dialog box. Therefore, you cannot back up the GPO to the desired network drive by browsing to it.

Note To work around this issue, provide the corresponding network drive letter in the Backup location field or in the Location field, and then click Browse. Then, the network drive is displayed under the Computer node in the Browse For Folder dialog box.

Cause

The issue occurs because the GPMC MMC snap-in incorrectly filters network drives from the Browse For Folder dialog box.
