Re: Strange mapping visibility issue with Vista x64 or x86... (login script issue)

scheduler commands)..

If i open other 3rd party apps.. like installshield 12.. then try the
open command.. i only see drives which are mapped that are
persistent.. ie:  these other mappings are mapped as not persistent at
login..

I'm not sure why this is the case...

I'm using this in a VBscript:

On Error Resume Next
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "O:" , "\\server01\apps"

(if you put , true after one of these lines it is persistent).

The old way.. i had a .cmd file with this:
NET USE O: \\server01\apps /p:n

I'm 99% sure the old way worked fine, but i'm not sure why a vbs file
method would break the ability to see the mapped network drives for
3rd party apps?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I should add that even if i change from a vbs to a cmd with net use
commands I still end up with the same thing...
