Allow me to clarify. All NT/2k computers pnysically connected on the LAN execute the script perfectly and the drive mappings are immediately available. However, remote users who connect via VPN and RAS use a batch file to manually start the kixtart logon script. This script still executes perfectly (all kix32.exe, no wkix), but the drive mappings don't appear in Windows for up to 2 minutes after the script completes. This script does NOT execute as part of the logon process for remote users, it must be started manually. And the mappings do eventually appear in Windows. Ideas?
