Drive mapping

[finsalgal]

I am trying to map a drive to the application i need to run. ie sys\data i have tried always to do this. It works fine each time but loses the setting on reboot. I have selected the check box to allow windows to map this every time windows starts but that does not work. The system is xp professional. Anyone any ideas??

Why don't you map this drive in the login script, then the drive will map every time the user logs in? This is the best way to do drive mappings.

Thelad is correct. I suggest making a group that will ahve access to this app. Then in the login script do something like this:
IF MEMBER OF "APPGROUP.." THEN
MAP P:=SERVER\SYS1:FOLDER
END
Notice the group has the trailing dots to show the correct context. You need that or the full context.
You could also use the ROOT command in the mapping to keep them from browsing up the volume. Like this:
MAP ROOT P:=SERVER\SYS1:FOLDER
