Group Policy is about user rights and settings - it has no effect
whatsoever on the mechanism that controls the mapping of a
drive on top of an existing mapping. If you want to write a robust
script that works no matter what then you should test for
existing connections, e.g. like so: If objfso.DriveExists("D:") . . .

I have done that and received the error. I am unsure if it will be
different via a gpo. Unfortunately i can't test that here. i've never ran
scripts this way before as always done it via the user account.

Cheers

Since you're sitting at a PC, it will take you less than a minute
to find out for yourself. Map Q: to \\YourPC\C$ manually,
then run your VB Script. You don't need a server to test such
a simple issue!

Hello,

i need a basic map drive script which i've got.. but what happens if
it is already mapped? is there a similair /peristent option? or does
it disconnect automatically?

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "x:" , "\\server\share"

Why don't you run a little test to see what happens if the drive
letter is already mapped?
