kjhoskin kjhoskin Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-01-29 Posts: 47 Loc: Plymouth, Devon, UK	I'm testing out Vista Beta 2, and our login script runs fine, BUT our network drives don't get mapped, works fine on XP and win2000. Any ideas?

Code: ?@error ?@serror sleep 3 _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

However, If I start the logon script manually, the drives do get mapped, without a hitch. This makes testing a bit troublesome, to say the least... Any ideas what could be causing this behaviour?

Poltergeist Poltergeist Lurker Registered: 2006-09-14 Posts: 4	And the problem is back with the RTM. It has to do with the UAC from Vista. If it's turned off, the script runs without a problem, even at logon. There are no error values. The values are exactly the same with of without UAC turned on. If the script is run manually (with UAC turned on), it works. It it's run from logon, it does not work. Edited by Poltergeist (2006-12-01 11:38 AM)

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	me running RTM now too and can confirm, the maps don't show in the explorer. doing net use does show them though. so, the issue is the user rights I guessed earlier. need to find a fix to this... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	k, it's a known issue and MS tells the workaround in: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVis...3.mspx?mfr=true in short, create a scheduler task that will run after logon process and do the drive mapping. stupid, but you could turn off the UAC. I think that's what I will do. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
