Access to shared storage from Windows VM in workspace? #3967

Open TonyWildish-BH opened 1 month ago

TonyWildish-BH commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug I have a workspace with several Windows and Linux VMs. The Linux VMs are able to see the shared storage at /fileshares/vm-shared-storage, but the Windows machines cannot see it.

I have enabled public network sharing/discovery, that doesn't help any.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a workspace with shared storage
  2. Create a Windows VM in that workspace, with access to the shared storage enabled.
  3. Fire up a remote desktop on the VM, look for the shared storage, fail to find it.

Screenshots showing the process of opening network drives on new VM:

On entering the VM for the first time, I get this prompt. I select 'Yes'

Then I open File Explorer, and go to the Network tab. It scans, finds nothing interesting, and shows the message about file sharing being off. I turn it on, as shown. It rescans the network, but nothing changes.

Update: This appears to be related to having had the luck to have a storage key which begins with a '/'. This is interpreted by the net use command as an option, and the command fails. Trying manually with the second key in the storage account, which does not start with a '/', succeeds. Rotating the key and starting a new VM doesn't help, the key seems to be baked into the service or something.
