Hi

Well since your losing map drivers on your clint stations, you shoud create
a script which will map the drivers for you everytime a user logs on, like a
simple batch file:

Try this:

Echo off
net use /delete * /y (optional if you whold like to delete all maped
drivers)
net use I: \\svrfile1\group
net use O: \\svrfile1\common
net use S: \\svrfile1\controlrm
exit

Once you have the batch file you can aply the batch file under you group
policy settings under (user configuration)

For your user profile you should ensure that all user have the write UNC
path under they account properties. Since the net use command whon't create
the user folder under you share.
