I have a small recurring problem that is starting to get a little bit bigger.

My environment is: Server 2012 Standard, AD, File Server, Print Server.

Clients are Windows 10

I have a number of mapped drives that all go to this same file server. If I open a Windows Explorer window on some client and try to copy-paste a file, I will eventually get an error message saying "Location Not Available".

This happen if I'm trying to move files to "C:\Program Files (x86)", but it will not happen for the target folder "Downloads" (in this case the operation is correctly done). I think UAC is involved.

So i have to first paste on "Downloads" and then in other folders of my client.
What can i do?

Windows Server
