Re: login script failing?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi
I have a domain of (currently) 4 servers, people login to ser1, the
others
are ser2,ser3 & ser4. I run a common login script for all users example :

How do you know whch servers are the users logging on?
Are these servers on separate sites?

it appears that all but the net use g: \\ser2\files drive mappings map. I
do not 'see' the login cmd box appear in the system tray area when I
login.
All users have rights to all the specified folders and they exist on the
relevant servers but no matter what I put in the login script, I even
tried
a
pause command to stop the execution so that I could have a look but it
seemed that XP ignored the modified script and continued on,
g: does not get mapped, and even h: fails occasionally.

Are the scripts being applyed at Site level?
Is the share/server always available?
Is this script being applied at user level or computer level?
Is the driver letter being used?
Does it fails in all computers or just in some?
Does the user/computer have access to that share.

1 shall I put net use drive: /delete before each mapping to ensure they
re-map

You can do that, howver if the letter is already in use the script will fail
anyway.
- net use * /d /y

2 any idea why h: might fail?
Already stated some of the possibilities.

4 would there be a better way of acheiving the mappings?
This method usually works fine in .bat files.

Hi

I have a domain of (currently) 4 servers, people login to ser1, the
others
are ser2,ser3 & ser4. I run a common login script for all users example :

net use f: \\ser1\apps
net use g: \\ser2\files
net use j: \\ser1\dump
net use h: \\ser4\home
net use t: \\ser3\files

it appears that all but the net use g: \\ser2\files drive mappings map. I
do not 'see' the login cmd box appear in the system tray area when I
login.
All users have rights to all the specified folders and they exist on the
relevant servers but no matter what I put in the login script, I even
tried
a
pause command to stop the execution so that I could have a look but it
seemed that XP ignored the modified script and continued on,
g: does not get mapped, and even h: fails occasionally.

So my question(s) is/are:

1 shall I put net use drive: /delete before each mapping to ensure they
re-map
2 any idea why h: might fail?
3 Does XP 'cache' mapped drives, other than the 'reconnect at logon'
option
and if it does how the hell can I stop it
4 would there be a better way of acheiving the mappings?

all clients are XP either sp1 or sp2, 512mb ram, 80gb hd and each user is
a
member of the 'power user' group on thier computers
