I have a NT 4.0 Workstation (SP 6) that does not show the mapped drives in Explorer. It did until last week. When a user logs on (Roaming Profiles) the Batch file runs too quickly to read. You can use Explorer and map the drives after you log on. Also, when you go to a command prompt and type "ipconfig/all" you get an error saying the command is not recognized. I am trying to avoid re-installing NT. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is it just one user having a problem on this workstation? Check the NT event log to see if it is having any problems on boot-up. The Ipconfig message is strange. Check that IPCONFIG.EXE file is in Winnt\system32. You may want to check the path settings in the environment section of ctrl panel(Should be ok unless you have changed it).
Not sure. You may need to describe a few more symptoms before anyone can help.

The command for checking the ip is "ipconfig /all" with a space before the slash. As for the logon script, add a pause command to see what messages might be displayed.

Have you tried using the NET USE command to see whether you're mapped drives are connected?
