Drive mapping lost
Hello there! I have an annoyance that started minor but is now becoming a
real problem. The computers on our network have been randomly losing their drive mappings. They are set up to automatically load via script file and do so on most computers. The user has full access once mapped manually. This is only happening to XP machines and our network uses server 2003. We have looked into timeout issues and that is not it as well as power settings on the affected users but that doesnt appear to be the problem either. Typically something as simple as a logoff/logon corrects the problem but not always. Any ideas what could be the problem and how to correct it?????? -- Jeremy Mcgee |

Drive mapping lost
What report does a NET USE command return? does it list no mappings, or does it show them as 'disconnected' ? "Jeremy_McGee" wrote: Hello there!

Well luckily today we havent had an issue arise yet but it could happen
anytime. Im expecting them to not appear at all, but i cant verify that. -- Jeremy Mcgee "Anteaus" wrote: What report does a NET USE command return? does it list no mappings, or does it show them as 'disconnected' ?

Drive mapping lost
Finally reproduced itself. Net share command doesnt show they are listed.
When i tried to pull up the users it gave me a system error 6118. I copied the batch file directly to the desktop so that when they disappear its as simple as clicking it and they are back. I can still manually map to them as well as run every application that has to have connectivity to the network to work. Im moving away from the users computer to active directory now. I cant imagine the script is the issue seeing how it works for almost everyone. Any ideas? -- Jeremy Mcgee "Anteaus" wrote: What report does a NET USE command return? does it list no mappings, or does it show them as 'disconnected' ? "Jeremy_McGee" wrote: Hello there!
