A problem with mapping network drives with a login script.
First the Computer and network Specs.
Client Computers.
Computer: Dell OptiPlex GX270
Using Integrated NIC on Motherboard
O/S: Windows XP Pro SP 1a
Network:
The network is a MS Windows Server 2000 Active Directory Domain.
Network Drive Mapping Setup.
The network Drives are mapped to each user at login using a login script in
AD. We Map Three Drives to each user. 1) A general Use drive, 2) a
Departmental Use drive, and 3) a Personal Drive. A fourth drive is mapped on
some computers with a script in the computers startup folder.
The Problem:
At first glance it looks as though Windows does not allow enough time for
all the drives to map to the network, and that could simply be the case.
Most of the time all the drives show up, just with a RED X on them and the
warring that the drives did not connect. This is usually fixed by simply
waiting for a few minutes before trying to use them and they will work just
fine. The main problem however is that some times the drives will not even
show up with out severely restarts and login attempts by the user. This is a
fairly bad problem for us as we are a College and users are the faculty
members trying save items to a network drive in there office to use in class
or from class to there office only to find they can not do it.
Any help to the problem anyone can give would be greatly appreciated;
however, an explanation as to what is happing or causing this would be even
better.
Thank You for any help you can render to us
Eric.
