In reply to lbro16.

To keep it persistent you can use Task Scheduler…
1. Open Task Scheduler and create a new task, make it run as the System account (switch from domain to local when choosing and it’ll check names verify).
2. Under triggers choose At startup.
3. Actions: New: Start a program.
Program: mount
Add arguments: x.x.x.x:/export/SHARE X:
4. Unmap if already mapped, run the task manually and verify it works, then reboot to test.
* Verified on Server 2019 and a Synology.

Hi. I followed your steps and for the most part they worked. I am using OpenMediaVault as the NFS Host and it required me to add ipaddress:/export/SHARE… Hope this will help someone else. On another note. I restarted Server 2019 and the mount was gone. How would I be able to mount the drive on startup?

Thanks

In reply to PRADEEP KUMAR Das. Please share more detail to what you are not seeing with this walkthrough? These are the exact steps taken on my system and then documented.
