Workaround
Below is a workaround, but it could not be replicated in a consistent manner: 1: Connect to Folder2: Connecting a network folder3: Network folder not being displayed in Catalog Tree4: Refresh5: Still no network folder after refresh6: Typing the drive (X) will make a connection7: All the subfolders in the X: drive can be seenUpdate:Possible WorkaroundUser Indicating that mapping the data path through Novell networks is successful. Workaround, user has mentioned in the incident #843350: Right click on ArcMap Icon > click on properties > click compatibility tab > check “ run this program in compatibility mode for”. Workaround from incident 916022:When ArcGIS is ran as an administrator for a standard user profile, the profile is given elevated privileges. The casue for not seeing the mapped drive is the User Account Control forces Standard Users and Administrators (with Elevated Privileges) to have different drive mappings. Mapped drives can be created for the elevated privileges. Detailed instructions to set up the mapped drives can be found in incident 916022 in the resolution and in the attachments.
