help drive mapping fails

[atdawgie]

Hi,

On a number of identical computers windows xp pro sp1 drive mappings to a specific windows 2000 file server intermittently fail. The login script runs when the users login and it maps to all other file servers except one. The two it maps to are DC's running WINS and the other is just a member server. If the users log out and log back in the login script runs again and the drive is mapped without a problem. I can also type \\memberserver\data from the run line and it works fine. The file server has been up and running for weeks. This file server is also running windows terminal server. What might be the problem?

Here is the script:
net use * /delete /y
net use k: \\domaincontroller1\data
net use m: \\domaincontroller2\data
net use r: \\memberserver\data

The last entry fails to map.

Thanks,
Aaron

I have ran into this issue where I work. Usually it is cured by the user logging off of his/her machine and logging back on. What I usually do is have the user wait a few seconds to log in, and giving the computer this extra time to do what it needs to always fixes it.

HTH,
