Guest Cory Blythe Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I have a rather strange and isolate problem I'm hoping I can get some insight on. I have one user on a network of 200+ that is 'losing' a mapped network drive. This drive is a shared folder on a server that has several other mapped drives on it. It is the only drive that vanishes and this user is the only one experiencing it to our knowledge. The drive doesn't disconnect it is simply gone and needs to be remapped manually. Thanks for any insight. Cory Blythe

To get a handle on the problem, I would invoke the following batch file via the user's logon script. It will run in a minimized window and is therefore less obtrusive to the user. 01. @echo off 02. if not "%1"=="" goto Run 03. start "Monitor" /min d:\temp\try.bat xxx 04. goto :eof 05. 06. :Run 07. echo %date% %time% >> c:\test.txt 08. net use | find ":" >> c:\test.txt 09. echo. >> c:\test.txt 10. ping localhost -n 60 > nul 11. goto run Make sure to specify the correct name for this batch file in Line 03. so that it can invoke itself. Now examine the file c:\test.txt on the user's PC from your own console and make a note of the times when the network drive vanishes.
