All:

I am running windows 2000 AD and have some windows 98 machines that inconsistently run the logon script CORRECTLY. Correctly is the key here as the script ALWAYS runs, but it does not complete the same way every time.

For example, user x logons in /w the 98 box and gets the "p" and "y" drives, however, she may logout and back in ten minutes later and not get one of the drives.

I do get all of my users to Consistently map one of the three drives I would like them to get.

I have checked the syntax and permission, all appears to be fine.

I am stumped....any suggestions?

Thanks

OK:

This might sound wierd, but here it goes.....

I had the net use commands looking like this:

net use s: \\servername\sharename

net use g: \\servername\sharename

When this happened, the "G" drive would not map.

SO, after a little brainstorming with Aaron (thanks for the help) we tried this:

net use g: \\servername\sharename

net use s: \\servername\sharename

Guess what...IT WORKED!!!

Now is that wierd or what?

Seems you have to have the drives map alphabetically (at least that's the way it's working for me)

Now all of my problems with drive mappings have dissappeared!!

Thanks

Hope this imght help someone else.
