OwnCloud - Client Issues

WebDAV

:!: Older versions of Windows will require you to download and install a WebDAV client, whereas newer Windows operating systems include built-in WebDAV functionality.

This may be a great solution for RDS (terminal) servers. With multi-user Windows systems, it is very problematic to use typical Windows Desktop Clients (OwnCloud Desktop Clients, Dropbox client, etc.) Think 'disk full' errors…

Windows 2012 R2 RDS Server Example

  1. Install Desktop Experience
    • Server Manager → Add Features → User Interfaces and Infrastructure → Desktop Experience
  2. Configure the WebClient service
    1. Services → WebClient > Properties > Set to Automatic
    2. Start the WebClient service
  3. Enable BasicAuth
    1. Open regedit.exe
    2. HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
    3. Set the DWORD value BasicAuthLevel to 1
  4. Reboot
    • FIXME Unnecessary to reboot?

Windows 8.1 WebDAV Client Example

Open a DOS command prompt, then:

net use Z: https://oc.virtualarchitects.com/remote.php/webdav /user:yourusername yourocpassword

you can use also the Windows Explorer “Map Network Drive” feature with same results – penzoiders Jan 26 '15 at 17:44

for some reason this worked on one machine, the other one gives me SystemError 53…. Windows … – spankmaster79 Sep 28 at 14:48
