PDMWorks on NAS?
PDMWorks on NAS?
(OP)
I'd swear I've installed PDMWorks on a NAS drive before, but it's kicking my @$$ this time....
We don't have an actual network here, more of a 'home' network with no server, just a big switch tied in to existing cabling. We just bought a 4TB NAS drive, which is up and running. I've mapped to it, but the install manager won't recognize it any longer. I say 'any longer' as I did get it to install once, but then had problems turning on the service so I removed it to start over.
Has anyone done this successfully? Again, I'd swear I did it about 3 years ago but can't, for the life of me, remember how.

I did, and yes.
In talking with some others, it appears to be some sort of Win7 permissions issue. We're not running more of a home network (no server) versus a typical work network. Part of being a smaller company I guess...

If you are under service I am sure your reseller would be able to help you out.
I have worked at company with 10's of thousands of employees (part of siemens) and we had a PDM vault for our facility running on a XP workstation that originally came with Windows 2000 workstation so size of company is not your problem.
