Recently we've been having some problems with users getting the following message:

"The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security ...."

This happens when a user tries to access a folder on a mapped drive that was mapped via login script.

The users are on WinXP and the network folders are on a Win2003 Server machine.

Oh, and per another post, often this happens when the mapped drives originally did not appear at login and the user reboots the machine and then logs in.

Why dont u just use shortcuts?

start > run > \\fileserver

"send to desktop as shortcut"

U wont get any errors this way :)

That would work if our people just went to the mapped drives to open stuff. Most of them open the software program first (e.g. MS Word) and then do a file/open going to their network or other network folder to open the file.

can also be caused by incorrect DNS settings. Try setting the Preferred DNS Server to the Domain Controllers address, and Alternate DNS Server to the router address on the client.

I'll have to check the DNS settings! I'm pretty sure they are all set to obtain DNS automatically; but there may be a couple of cases where that isn't the case.
