Users are losing drive mappings?

[WilliamUT]

We just rolled out our 2000 server and have a big problem! When users leave for the night they are losing their drive mappings. When they re-login the drive is still missing. If i sign on as administrator i can see the drive with an X through it...if i reconnect it then have them log in they get their mapping again. Any ideas what is causing this?

WilliamUT,

Have you checked 'reconnect at logon'?

nope? where would that option be?

Actually i've seen the "connect at login" option under the user account. Those are all checked...but doesn't that only apply to their personal folders? Im mapping their drives through a vbscript (the login script pushed with their GPO).

Hi WilliamUT,

The option to 'reconnect at logon' can be found if you are mapping manually through Windows explorer.
I believe that if you are using a logon script you have to use the /PERSISTENT:YES switch to make it persistant.

Hope this helps

ahhh i was using this to map my network drives :

net.mapnetworkdrive "p:","\\server\Novell\Shared"



i have switched it to :

WshShell.Run "net use /PERSISTENT:YES V: \\server\Novell\Shared"



we will see if it works...thanks for the tips!
