Azure map drive system error 53 has occurred

Question

I am trying to map a storage account to a Virtual machine in Azure.

I am following a simple tutorial which details how to access your Azure Files from inside a VM.

You simply create a new storage account so that it has the new Azure Files access, then map a drive to the VM using net use:

net use z: \\tempstorage.file.core.windows.net\upload /u:tempstorage mykey

I am getting:

System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.

I have made the container public and can access files located inside via the url:

https://tempstorage.blob.core.windows.net/upload/example.jpg

Any ideas why I am getting System error 53?

Please note: the above urls are an examples and don't link to a read locations.

Answer 1

Change this registry key to a value of 3

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa > LmCompatibilityLevel

For more information, see the LmCompatibilityLevel topic on TechNet.

Got this solution from this MS docs
