Following up on my earlier post.
I have access to two instances of NextCloud that provide access to the same storage. They have certain differences in configuration.
What I observe is rather puzzling. When I try to mount Instance 1 using
net use X: \\hostname1@ssl\webdavpath
I get this error:
System error 67 has occurred. Network name cannot be found.
While with Instance 2 the command completes successfully. What is puzzling me is that after Instance 2 was mounted say as drive X:, I can now also successfully mount Instance 1 as drive Y:.
My question would be what could be the reason of such behavior? How can one debug Windows 7 WebDAV client?

The problem was resolved by enabling automatic startup of the WebClient service using the Services management console.
WebDAV client in Windows requires a support service to run.
John Guin has a detailed description of how to enable this service in Windows on his blog.
