When some of my users log in to our network they receive several mapped drives of the same directory. They continue to collect every time they log in. Has anyone seen this before?

We also have the same problems and I don't have any solutions.

The problem you are seeing is probably something to do with link tracking in NT. If you map a drive, create a shortcut to something in the mapped drive then delete the mapped drive, whenever you access the shortcut the drive will be remapped. Either disable link tracking in a policy or educate your users!

Where in the policy will I disable link tracking?
Thank you,

To be honest, I can't remember off the top of my head. It's been 6 months
since I've touched an NT box (w2k is so much better). I used to use policies to disable link tracking because of this exact problem and map drives automatically through the policy based on NT user groups. I'll dig up the scripts I used when I get home.

This information is included in the ZAK for NT. It would seem to indicate the policies will be in one of the .adm's included in the Zero Admin Kit.
If you can't be bothered to find the relevant adm, just add a line to one of the existing adm's on the box you're defining policies on to reflect the registry entry. If you struggle to do this, I'll try to find a spare NT 4 box and work it out. If you want to map the drives automatically, map a drive the n do a registry search for the path of the mapped drive. From that you should be able to modify the ADM's. Sorry I'm asking you to figure it out rather than giving you a straight answer but I don't really have the necessary tools to hand at the moment.
