Startup Script Fails to Map Drive…. WTF?

Hello all,

I’ve got a startup script that fails to map a drive. I get system error 53 – network path not found. I added ping tests to that server by host name in the batch file, and pings fine. When I change the host name to IP, it attempts to map, but prompts for authentication.

The path exists as I can execute the batch file manually & it executes perfectly…just not on startup! It’s a very basic batch file to map a drive, copy files, and then delete the mapped drive.

NET USE x: \\\

x:\

NET USE x: /DELETE

WTF? Can anyone help? This should work, but it’s frickin’ not!!!!

We have AD 2003.

Thanks!
