Mapped Network Drive Failed

 Map Network drive with below error notification :

as shown below :


Here is a simple remedy for it.
  • Open Registry Editor (Regedit)
  • Go to :  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
    • Modify "AllowInsecureGuestAuth" value to "1"

    Close Registry Editor, and try again mapping your drive. 

    It should be working properly now.
