ya, I am not sure why it wont work either. I can do the reconnect at logon,
but I was hoping to be a lazy IT guy and not have to goto all machines and
map via a logon script. I may be able to trick it with a reg script or
something, but as usual, I am curious as to why, seemingly from the command
line it wont run, but from the "Map network drive" it works no problem.
Almost seems like it is not passing the credentials from the command prompt
at login script time.
