Map the drives in a .cmd file you create using the net use command and put it
in your startup folder.
eg.
net use f: //server/dir /USER:username password

I've never had a problem before, but...
I have a client with a Server 2003 SBS and a mix of XP Home and XP Pro
workstations.
The only reason the XP Home workstations utilize the server is for DHCP,
internet access (DNS), and a shared folder named "Common User Files".
The XP Home PCs use a Workgroup name which is the same as the Domain name.
When I set this up, I had no trouble mapping the shared drive on the XP Home
PCs. The server would ask for a user name and password to see the share,
and I would type in administrator and the admin password. I remember there
was an option to save the password which I checked.
(I know, I know, I probably opened a security hole I could drive thru, but
security is not a major problem here.)
Anyway, lately the option to save the password seems to have disappeared
(Server 2003 SP1?) and the next time the user tries to access the drive
after a reboot, it asks for the admin password.
Have I answered my own question? Is SP1 the reason? Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance!
Mark
