Dependencies
And to make that work, the WebDAV client must be installed and running on the machine. On a Windows 10 client, the WebDAV client is installed but the client is most likely not running.
Check with:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-service webclient
Start it with:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> start-service webclient
Network Discovery needs to be enabled as well. This setting can be enabled in the Network and Sharing Center:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> control.exe /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter
Click on Change advanced sharing settings
and select Turn on network discovery
for your current network profile.
Run the tool from the command line

Run the tool from a mapped drive
Create a network drive and run the tool from the mapped drive:
