Powershell 2.0 Enter-PSSession cannot get New-PSDrive working

Question

I have a remote computer which I can Enter-PSSession successfully. When I execute:

New-PSDrive -Name "G" -PSProvider Filesystem -Root '\\fileserver\apps\etc' 

I get the following error:

New-PSDrive : Drive root "\\fileserver\apps\etc" does not exist or it's not a folder.
+ CategoryInfo          : ReadError: (G:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveRootError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand

Now, the location does exist because its mounted on my local computer and remote computer too. Before trying to mount the network drive through Powershell, I typed Get-PSDrive to see if it was mounted before - nothing just the normal.

Is there a way to mount a network drive when you are in PSSession?

Answer 1

You have to realize why it fails first. This is second hop issue that causes it.

Several way to fix it:

• net use on remote box (will prompt for password)
• enabling kerberos delegation or constrained kerberos delegation
• enabling CredSSP
