User loses mapped drives in XP

by tdnewk . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

I have had 4 XP Pro users connecting to a win2k AD that have had a problem with mapped drives that get set in the login script. The XP machines act as if when the user logs in, their credentials to create the mapped drives are unknown. The drives show up, but when you try to access them, you get “access denied”. If I wait about 5 minutes, then run a batch to create the mapped drives, then the mapped drives work. Some of the users have experienced a 2 minute login delay as well. My fix has ultimately been to wipe the machine and reload XP because recreating the user profiles on the XP machines did not fix the problem.
