Mapping to server goes away when not logged on.

[evergreean43]

I created Perl script on my Windows 2000 workstation that opens up a mapped directory on a Windows 2000 server. It works great in my task scheduler when I am logged on the workstation.

When I am logged off and the task scheduler executes my script that opens up a mapped directory it doesnt work and fails. Do I lose my mapped directory when I am logged off my workstation?
I assume I only have the mapped directory when I am logged on. If this is the case, anyway to keep my mapping when I am logged off?

Yes of course a UNC will have always worked and you could even create a shortcut to it.

But you came on here asking how to solve a particular problem you were having rather than saying what you were trying to achive.

I despair that nobody told you that running perl scripts an such is not well looked upon in a network in which you are not an admin and might get you fired in others.

If you had asked your administrator they might have created a more stable and reliable solution.
