DLO will not see unless you have the drive name given in the NAS because DLO can't see it directly. So if you don't have that option in your NAS box to give it a drive letter then only option is to create the user and point them to the NUDF as NAS. I have done it many times as that is the only optin if your NAS can't be given a drive letter.
Yuo can't create a storage location if your NAS doesn't have a drive letter.
Hi sksujeet,
Could you tell me the steps to do it? I am new to DLO and I do not know how to do it.
Thanks!
Best regards

For a drive on a NAS to have a drive letter on a Windows server (without using UNC mapping) it has to be setup to in effect emulate a SAN - which means using iSCSI. Some NAS devices support this type of connection some do not, however you should consult your NAS vendor for how to setup iSCSI and possibly also look at Microsoft information for configuring the iSCSI initiator in Windows
Once this has been done the DLO setup is the same as for a local internal drive in the same server.
Note: UNC mappings onto drive letters do not work as they only exist in the context of the logged in user and DLO has to operate at a background level.
Finally DLO is now a separate product (OK I know this is a resurrected old thread from when it was a combined product with BE) and beause it is separate it does have it's own forum pages:
