More Information

Note: If this issue is occuring on Domain Controller which has been configured as a Veeam Proxy, DO NOT perform these steps. Disabling automount on a Domain Controller will cause Application-Aware Processing to fail (http://www.veeam.com/kb1697). It is not advisable to configure a Domain Controller as a Veeam Proxy.
