Just thought I'd follow up with the solution that finally worked: I found these two registry entries:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\
Name: RestoreConnection
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name...
Another thought that just occurred to me: the app seems to be heavily reliant on the .NET framework, and I've heard of that bringing its own kettle of fish with it. Any possibility I might have to pass some commands the framework in the startup script? I know all of nothing about .NET.
Thanks, BBB and everyone, for all of your time investment into helping me solve this problem. Unfortunately, I tried the script and the group policy startup approach and still no dice. I have now, through additional testing, been able to confirm that the network drive is simply unavailable to...
Currently, I have all the commands running from one batch script in the startup folder. The script currently waits for 10 seconds, then issues the net use command (which I have verified works to reconnect the drive)(I tried it with the /delete option, but that threw back an error message, will...
BBB: thanks for that tip. I went ahead and gave it a try, and it seems like a useful setting for my purposes anyway, but I don't think it directly relates to this startup issue. It looks to be more of an inactivity timeout concern. It did point me in the direction of a few more registry tweaks I...
Thanks, linney, for your suggestions. The scheduled tasks idea I had tried already, but unfortunately that had the same result as the startup menu option.
The Policy Setting idea was a good one, though, and I hadn't thought about that one. Unfortunately, I enabled that option, rebooted several...
Hi folks! I have two problems that are probably pretty common on XP. First is that I need to have a network drive accessible upon system startup (it's an XP server that needs to reboot daily). It is ostensibly connected automatically at startup but remains inaccessible to the program that needs...
Aha! It was buried in the CCR menu. It was confusing at first, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. And I did find those recordings, so I can now change them.
Thanks a bunch! That helped me a lot.
I'm a little confused with the automated attendant settings on my nortel norstar system. I want to change a greeting, but am trying to avoid messing up the old one until I get it right. We have two greetings recorded: one for our general use phone number, and one for our business offices. I have...
