The problem was on an NT4 SP6 server running XP FR1. See Microsoft KB
Article: 328981 for a description of the error.
Basically, I was typing net use t: \\server\share and getting...get
this...."An attempt was made to remember a device that had previously
been remembered."=20
Nice error huh? Well, the MS article has a hotfix (one of them that you
have to call for...) for Win2k only. I'm guessing that one of the
recent MS patches caused the error but I'm not sure. I'm going to try
to recreate the error in a controlled situation now that I've had to
bring up an old image of the server to remedy the problem.
Things I tried that didn't fix: rejoining the domain, recreating the
share, reapplying NT4SP6a, applying the Win2k fix to the Win2k server
that I was trying to map to, rebuilding profiles (made a little progress
here but messed up profiles so app wouldn't launch), I WAS able to do
net use s: \\server\share but my app was built around the T drive and it
would have been MUCH too hard to just map to a different drive letter...
I'll update this if I do get around to recreating the error by applying
patches 1 at a time.

You can't login as an admin and map a drive for all users, but it's not
hard
to have a drive mapped for all users as they login. You can do it with a
batch file like this:
@echo off
cls
if exist s:\ net use s: /d
net use s: \\server\share
Or, you can do it in VBScript like this:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Const ForceRemoval =3D 1
Const RemoveFromProfile =3D 1
dim objNetwork
set objNetwork =3D CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "s:",ForceRemoval,RemoveFromProfile
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "s:","\\server\share"
set objNetwork =3D nothing
You can have the script run in a variety of ways, depending on your
configuration (domain, etc.):
- Create a group policy object and call the script from the login script
section
- Put it in the NETLOGON share and reference it in the user's login
script
property
If it's only for specific machines, you could:
- copy the script to the machine or to a network share and call it from
c:\winnt\system32\usrlogon.cmd (at the beginning)
- Reference it at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and so forth.

I'm having trouble with a logon script that is supposed to map a network
drive for every user when they log on.
Anyone know how to make a drive mapping as an admin and have it apply to
all
users automatically?
Thanks VERY much in advance!
