We've decided to not map the location for each user signing in. &nbsp;Since it's rare that we would have more than 2 or three people simultaneously accessing the location that was being mapped, a decision has been made to not map the drive and provide instructions for the user to access the location using the UNC path. Mapping has limitations on the number of users that can be mapped simultaneously to the one location and since it's not required, I've aborted the need to map the location. <br />

Thanks for the information.

I'm told that there is a limit to the number of concurrent mapped drives to a shared storage device that is connected to a Windows 7 workstation. &nbsp;I need at least 35 connections to this storage device. &nbsp;If there's no way to map the 35 connections to the shared external device that is currently connected to the Windows 7 workstation (I believe the limit is 10) , will upgrading to Windows 10 allow me to have 35 users map to the external storage device concurrently?

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
