All drives showing as disconnected maps – still

by officerbill . Updated 18 years, 7 months ago

I first posted this question back in December and the only response was from Maniacman, but his suggestion didn’t work. So I figured I would try again after the holidays.

I’ve looked around and posted in the MS newsgroups on this, but I haven’t found a solution.

I have 35 XP pro stations w/53 users going into a 2003 server. All users use the following login script

net use * /delete
net use /persistent:no
net use F: \\ourserver1\Apps
net use L: \\ourserver2\live

this has worked fine for a long time.
A week or so ago one station started showing all drives (E through Z) as
disconnected mapped drives, but if you clicked on them they each opened to what should have been the F: drive.

This happens with every user on this machine, but not on any other
workstation.
It doesn’t matter whether or not it is a network or local logon. Even local logons still show all drives as disconnected maps and they all lead to the same place.
Even if he starts the pc with a USB drive plugged in it ignores it and shows all drives as disconnected maps.

If I run net use * /delete the response is that there are no maps on the list.
If I try to run the net use to map a drive it replies that the letter is
already in use.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
