• I'm having the same problem.

    Server 2012 standard edition

    SQL Server 2012 enterprise edition

    a domain service account, which is also in the server's local administrator group

    the domain service account is a sysadmin in MSSQL

    SQL Server is in mixed mode

    when I run the MSSQLSERVER service as the domain service account, I can only see the C drive from within MSSQL

    when I run the service as Local System account, I can see all of my drives

    It 'seems' that things run as local system account, but I "need" it to run as a domain service account so I can use ALWAYSON.

    Any thoughts or ideas? I'm at a loss.
