Mapping with different credentials only stays persistent after restart, if you select both options the first time you create the network drive. (internal: use “COMP-NAS” on our buildservers instead of the IP)

One of the useful tools that Windows offers is the ability to assign drive letters to the network locations. You can use the Map Network Drive command of Windows Explorer or AB Commander to create the network drives. After a network drive has been created, you can use it just like any other drive: browse its contents, copy file to or from it, and so on.

A problem may occur, however, if you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 and need to access the network drive from an application that runs elevated (a.k.a. as administrator).

• create a new DWORD entry with the name EnableLinkedConnections and value 1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System
• you can do this with this single command (as admin): reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System” /v “EnableLinkedConnections” /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /f

Taken in part from Case Sensitivity on Microsoft Learn platform

When working with both Linux and Windows files and directories, you may need to adjust how case sensitivity is handled. Standard behavior:

• Windows file system treats file and directory names as case-insensitive. FOO.txt and foo.txt will be treated as equivalent files.
• Linux file system treats file and directory names as case-sensitive. FOO.txt and foo.txt will be treated as distinct files.

The Windows file system supports setting case sensitivity with attribute flags per directory. While the standard behavior is to be case-insensitive, you can assign an attribute flag to make a directory case sensitive, so that it will recognize Linux files and folders that may differ only by case.

Windows PowerShell opened in administrator mode

Run the following:

  Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

This takes a few seconds and will (prompt you to) restart your computer.

Windows PowerShell opened in administrator mode

To inspect case sensitivity settings, run:

  fsutil.exe file queryCaseSensitiveInfo <path>

To enable case sensitivity, run:

  fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo <path> enable

To disable case sensitivity, run:

  fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo <path> disable
