I having problems mounting a webdav drive via explorer or cmd with the following command:

net use z: "https://.." /user:username password

System error 67 has occured.
The network name cannot be found.

Everything working fine on my other machines. Thought I had to install the "Desktop Experience" Feature but cant find it in Server Manager / Add Features. I`ve already added the "Media Foundation" Feature and the "WebDAV Publishing" is even installed with IIS. I cant find the WebClient Service in services.msc.

Any suggestions, how enable client side webdav support?

Just solved this on a 2012 R2 for connecting a WebDAV drive from OwnCloud 7 server via HTTPS (think it's same on 2012)

  1. Install Desktop Experience

server manager > Add Features > User Interfaces and Infrastructure > Desktop Experience

  1. Start and set to Automatic WebClient Service

services > WebClient > Properties > Set from Manual to Automatic then start it

  1. Enable BasicAuthLevel in regedit

open regedit.exe and go to this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

set the DWORD value "BasicAuthLevel" to "1"

  1. reboot
  2. connect to your WebDAV

net use z: "https://.." /user:username password

Here is the solution to this problem for Windows Server 2016:

  1. Install WebDAV-Redirector component via PowerShell

    Install-WindowsFeature WebDAV-Redirector –Restart

  2. Verify that WebDAV-Redirector is installed properly

    Get-WindowsFeature WebDAV-Redirector | Format-Table –Autosize

  3. WebClient service should appear in your system. By default it is started in Manual mode, just set it to Automatic and that's it.

  4. Reboot

For a Server 2012R2 Essentials, penzoiders' answer does not work because Essentials does not have the server manager and I couldn't find a way to install the Desktop Experience through Dashboard.

However, the installation via PowerShell described in the IT Bros link in Suncatcher's answer also works on Server 2012R2 Essentials:

Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience

Right after the reboot I was finally able to mount Magentacloud via WebDAV.
