Re: Scripted Drives Not Mapping

Unfortunately the laptop/person in question is not in today. However, when
he is I will grab this information and post it.

Thanks,

Hello Microsoft Newsgroups!

Been aware of this service for quite some time, but never bothered to
actively persue it with any questions, but I look forward in the
future to both finding answers to, and giving answers to, various
questions; or at least any assistance I may offer.

I come to you with a question regarding scripted drives. We are
running a Windows Server 2003-native environment, with a VBscript
that runs at login that maps drives. We have a laptop user whose
drives do not map just about every morning, but if he logs out and
logs back in they map just fine.

Things I have considered:
-DNS: Having them ping our domain returns the proper DNS addresses,
so it's not that he's looking to an address that isn't a domain
controller. -Wireless: I thought it may be the wireless card not
grabbing a connection until after login, but we have other wireless
users here who do not seem to have an issue.

As a stopgap, I'm going to hard-map his drives, but I'd like to get
this resolved for the future.

As a side note, my script maps the drives when they log in, but they
do not remain once they log out. Is there a way in VBscript to define
that you would like the drives to remain mapped once they are mapped,
similar to if you map them via "net use" or through the Windows GUI?

Your assistance is appreciated (as this has been driving me nuts!),

AdamD.

Are you getting any events in the Laptop Application log from Userenv as
the
source?

Can you please post an unedited ipconfig /all?
