if you run mapping using batch files , use .cmd instead of .bat add a line before each new share like this ---- net use o: /d net use o: \\server\share ---- you should look in to making it a vbs file instead to make it easier to handle. you may also want to add printers this way.... depending on the size of your organization brgds joakim for each On 10/31/06, Washington, Booker <Booker.Washington@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
That just might do the trick. Thanks for the helpful hint. I will let you know tomorrow when I work with my users. And I wonder why it looks like they are not even receiving the batch file. I had a pause line setup, but I never see the script run when I am at the user's workstation. I will keep you posted.

Mappings are not supposed to persist unless you tell them too but I've seen inconsistent results with this.

Initially, I made a mistake and had a mapped drive going to a wrongly named share i.e, it was going to \\servername\hiddenshares$ it was suppose to go to \\servername\hiddenshare$ the mapped drive letter was O I change the script to point to the correct location, but my users still keep getting O going to the first wrongly named share It's almost as if the logon is being cached and it keeps holding on to the old mapping. Any ideas as to why this would occur. I have the logon policy set to wait for the network before applying policy, but they just don't seem to be getting the policy. But all of the rsop and modeling tests say that it IS getting the policy..
