I’m trying to run the name identification command on my drive location but it’s not on a local drive it’s on a network drive. I’m rusty using CMD prompts, is it possible to run it on say a “z:/public/shared drive …etc?

Windows 10

I think I have the latest version I grabbed it on Saturday.

Hi there! Thanks for the kind message. In regards to your question, yes that should work just fine. Any valid drive in Windows should behave just like any other (With exception to perhaps network shares).

You think you could give me a hand with that this weekend? Like I said I’m a bit rusty with CMD prompts and activating “cd” on a network drive isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

Hi there,

Are you a Patreon subscriber? Do you have access to the Discord server?

The_Darkseid2 years ago

No to both. I see a lot of people interact with Discord but I’ve never actually used it. I honestly don’t know how it works.

Hi again! Thanks for the kind reply. If you haven't already read it, I suggest taking a look at the pinned user guide in order to get a better understanding on how to use the application. I don't normally give straight up CMD tutorials on the forums anymore, but if you feel you still need direct assistance, I would invite you to join us on Patreon (Discord) where I am better able to provide you with personalized help.

Thank you, this helped MASSIVELY, although i still have not figured out how to run this from a NAS. Tried to google a solution and attempted

pushd %~dp0

With or without it, it still comes back with the error "[FAIL] The directory does not exist of could not be accessed". any ideas?

It likely cannot rename files/folders on a network share because they are not the same as a physical file. This is especially true when your talking about file locking/sharing. I suggest you just run this against a real physical file location and then share the result after your done organizing it.

ok, I think I got it. I appreciate it.
