Hi

I have windows server 2003, the clients are Win XP - all are updated.
The disks are mapped using "net use ..." in a bat file.
Sometimes the win xp client don't have any driveletters to the mapped disks
afther a logon and can't start apps on the shared disks.
They doubleclick on an icon pointing to the logonscript - then everything is
ok.

Can you help mee troubleskoot this case - I have little info and no
eventfiles now.

Hello Tor-Magne,

Have you enabled the policy "Always wait for the network at computer startup
and logon" in a GPO.

Best regards

Modify your logon script as below, then examine c:\test.txt after the user
reports a problem. Remember to remove the logging instructions after you've
solved your problem!
@echo off
echo %date% %time% %UserName% >> c:\test.txt
net use S: \\YourServer\Sales 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
net use T: \\YourServer\Transport 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
net use 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
echo. >>c:\test.txt
