I'm having real problems mapping home drives for our Windows 95 clients on a Win2K domain. The script is simple enough:

----------
Use * /delete

;Set-up Drive mappings

Use Z: "\\mg-server1\@userid"

@error

Use S: "\\mg-server1\subjects"
@error

----------

However, while this works on the Win2K clients, the Z: drive will not map on the 95 clients. S: is fine, but not Z:. I echoed out the value of @userid, and it is as it should be. However, @error for this drive returns 85 - "The local device name is already in use". I can manually map the drive using "net use" once logged on, but it will not work in the KiXtart script.

The really annoying part is that this is a new domain which is replacing a series of independent site-based domains, and the KiXtart script is a copy of the one that used to work perfectly on the old domain!

Any suggestions will be gratefully received!

Thanks,

Iain

Iain,

Welcome to the board!

BTW, Z: drive is reserved (Don't use it) for your Win9x clients. It is pretty well taken up during the login process.

I am pretty sure it has been talked about a number times. In fact, if memory serves, we have an FAQ on this.

Kent is right, leave Z: alone.

Ah, that would explain it... I searched about for an FAQ on this, couldn't find it, sorry!

Thanks very much for the help, guys.
