Mount windows shares on a windows node with Chef

Question

I\'m trying to copy files from a windows share to my node\'s cache. Apparently there\'s no way to do that from remote_file so my alternative thought is to try and mount the wind

Answer 1

This is normal. Windows drive mappings are not shared across sessions, so drives mapped in the session where Chef is running are not visible in any other sessions. In addition, mappings are not persistent by default so a mapping made in one Chef session will not be available (by default) in later sessions.
