Hi,

Got a problemem with mounting drives on an windows 2003 Enterprise server SP2.
After mounting a disk from a san the windows server does not show a drive
letter to the mounted disk. Windows explorer does show a drive letter,
windows command does show a drive letter but under windows disk management
there is no drive letter assigned to the disk.

If you want to add a drive letter to the disk it gives a error, but in you
got to the explorer of command prompt you can browse to the folder and files.

After a server reset a drive letter is assigned and is working fine.

The reason why restating is not an option is that the mounted disk must be
available for the backup. So restarting the server several times a night is
not really a solution.

Anybody an idea why windows is behaving like this, and even more important
is there a know solution to it beside restarting the server.

Thanks
