I always use this setting in conjuction with "run logon scripts
synchronously".

Andrew may be correct here. At lot of time with startup/logon scripts
you run into a race condition between GP Processing and the
initialization of the network adapter. If so, you'll see errors in the
Event log about being able to find the script.
In addition to Andrew's suggestion below, see the following KB for
another possible resolution.

Have you tried enabling:
"Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always
wait for the network at computer startup and logon"
Could be that at first logon your machine hasn't finished connecting to
the network?

Just as a quick update, I made the change, but today, my laptop was a
"victim" After booting up cold from being connected to my home network,
my maped drive did not show. I logged off and back on, and my mapped
drive was there.

Absolutely not, in terms of no other complaints (smile). That normally
just means, they have not called the help desk yet.
But, I just remembered that I don't think I set it to wait for the
script to run before logging on. And I usually set that!!!
Ok, let me make that change and continue to monitor.......I think that
may be the case, it might explain the intermittent nature, i.e,
sometimes the script runs before the logon process is complete, and
maybe sometimes the logon process completes without running the script?
Each matching case produces an action
No drive letter assignment for removable drives or use sticks.

just cause you haven't gotten complaints doesn't mean that it is
working- does it?
Any chance the script is just not running for the particular user
logons?
are you forcing the logon process to wait for the script? are notebooks
involved? is wireless networking involved?
Also- maybe you would be interested is using the GPO preference options
for mapping drives- I find that it works pretty well- especially if
every users gets a user or personal drive and then they get departmental
or project related mapped drives as well.
I also have a big issue regarding users who are in multiple groups
causing problems as you reuse drive letters based on groups
It has been a short while since I used select/case statements- but does
the 1st apply then it exits or does each matching case result in an
action?
Strange that a reboot would fix it-maybe there is a drive letter
assignment for a removable drive or usb stick or a card slot in the
workstation for memory sticks?

This is what we have for our login script. This is just a snippet of
the code.
If (IsMember(objUser, "PERFORMANCE") = True) Then
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "v:", "\\bluewater\performance$
<file:///\\bluewater\performance$> ", False
End If

I have the following vbs script below. The script maps drives
based on the users group membership
For some members of the group MGT Undergraduate Office, they
report that "sometimes" when they login the drive will not map, but if
they restart, then the drive shows. Obviously, that is not ideal, so I
am trying to figure out where to start troubleshooting to see why this
is occurring.
So far in my testing, I have not heard complaints from the one
other group that is a part of my test roll out of this logon script
