Cold Boot = Bad Drive Map *** LogOff - LogOn = Good Drive Map?

[johnfrani]

I have XPpro on my workstation and our domain controller is a Win 2003 server.

When I cold boot my computer and login, my home directory is mapped to the wrong drive.

Once I have booted, logged in, and got the wrong drive map to my home directory, I logoff and login again (without re-booting) and I get the correct mapping to my home directory.

How can I fix this?

When my computer boots, what logon script launches?
Where is it?

When I LogOff and then LogOn, what logon script launches?
Where is it?


Thanks
John

The login script can be found shared off of your domain controller. start>run> %logonserver%\netlogon\

You'll find the script there. On the server..

c:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\domain.com\scripts

What could be causing your problems is one of two things... you have a persistent mapping that was made on the client using the drive you want to map. Your client is running a batch or script that maps the drive before you log on (i.e. autoexec.bat still works in xp) or after the script runs (start>all programs>startup).

adjust your script to unmap drives before mapping them...

net use x: /d
net use x: \\server\share1
net use y: /d
net use y: \\server\share2



Start, Help. You'll be surprised what's there. A+/MCP/MCSE/MCDBA
