I have been troubleshooting the logon batch file that maps drives to users according to their group membership (using ifmember.exe)in a W2K domain. The domain was migrated from NT4 to 2000 before I joined the company.
Logon batch file executes andseems to make the right selections, but exactly upon completion of the batch file, the rest of the drives get mapped for all users.
Upon further examination, I realized that no reference to logon.bat is even necessary in the user profiles. The batch file will run regardless.
I checked domain policy using GPMC.msc or GPedit.msc and any other tools I could find, and there are no such domain policies to map all drives for all users.
They show the same logon.bat file will be running as a logon script in “default domain policy\user configuration\windows settings\scripts\logon” section.
I am at a loss.
How can all drives be mapped for a brand new user without having a logon batch file defined in profiles, or a group policy defining the mapping of drives?
