Cannot find file when elevating application from DFS mounted share

C

I can't figure this out for the life of me but I'm prepared to accept that this is something dumb that I've managed to overlook...


Environment:

VMware Horizon running Windows 10 1607 (LTSB). Folder Redirection is enabled and maps to %HOMESHARE%\[Folder]. All users have home shares enabled via ActiveDirectory and they are DFS shares.


Problem:

When attempting to install an application from the network share an error is displayed:

Windows cannot access \\dfspath.mydomain.com\Users\u201\me\Downloads\7z1900.exe

Error Code: 0x80070002

The system cannot find the file specified.


If I look in the SMBClient logs in event viewer I see:

The SMB client failed to connect to the share.

Error: {Access Denied}

A process has requested access to an object, but has not been granted those access rights.

Path:\\share.mydomain.com\Users


Troubleshooting Performed:

I've tried this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ilable-from-an-elevated-prompt-when-uac-is-co

I have validated that I can see my network drive from both a standard and elevated command prompt. Strangely, if I run the installer through the elevated command prompt it actually runs (hwat?). That's my workaround for now but I'd love for this to work through explorer and I'm not entirely certain why it doesn't... If I disable UAC, this also works but I'd rather not because security.
