Group Policy Issues

[JonathanWood]

I just installed Windows 2008 sever and created an account for myself to test. I found while reading around on the internet that Group Policy is the new way to set up mapped drives for users. I have created a policy to map three drives for the domain users. Now when I go to login from my Win 7 Pro and Ultimate machines, I don't get any mapped drives. I can't seem to figure out where the issue is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

rsop.msc is your friend and/or gpresult.exe. These help you troubleshoot policies and see what is applying and what isn't and sometimes they will even tell you why. Also check the event logs on both the clients and on the servers where the drives should be mapping. If there is a permissions problem, it will probably show up there.
