Loss of Map Drives in 2000 with Dialup

by torque2k . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

Hi, all.

I’ve been converting our company’s PCs over to Windows 2000 from 9X and NT. We have a large number of notebook users, so 2000 is a great upgrade for us.

But…

One thing I cannot figure out on the Windows 2000 clients is mapping drives over a dialup connection. Our servers have a script which runs when any client machine logs in, or rather a user logs into the domain.

On 9X and NT, when a user logs in via RAS, on authentication the script runs exactly as it does when connected to the LAN. For some unknown reason, my 2000 clients will NOT run that script.

I have even copied the script over to a notebook, dialed in, logged in as a user (even the Domain Administrator!), and run the batch file script on the local machine, but to no avail.

Our domain is predominantly NT 4 SP5, with the file server recently upgraded to 2000 Advanced Server (it handles print services, too).

On a side note, this also happens when connecting through a VPN connection on our Cisco 3000 Concentrator.

Thanks for any help!
