Hello Everyone,
I have an issue with mapped drives disappearing. It happens randomly a we need to tell the end user to do a GPUpdate /force to fix. So here is my setup:
- Windows 2008 R2 with Win 7,8,10 (64 and 32 bit) on the client side
- We use GPP (GPO with no VBS or BAT scripts)
- The mapped drive is setup with Action: "Replacing"
- Location: Home Drive
- No Reconnect
- Hide/Show this drive: Show this Drive
- Hide/Show all drives: No change
- (common Tab) Item Level Targeting enabled with Security groups
- 175 login scripts for different departments
- 12 domain controllers
- 60 satellite sites that feed off our main site
We have looked and eliminated the following.
- Network
- Server bandwidth: we show no over usage of disk, memory, and CPU
- SAN: no stress on the connection or usage
We have not eliminated:
- Replication
- Windows Update
- 3rd Party Application i.e. MacAfee
Replication, yes there are some connection issues to other DC’s but they remedy themselves. The mapped drive issues started happening recently. Windows updates, I can’t trace down to a specific patch. And as for MacAfee, I’m not ready to go down that road unless something underling I can prove. The duplication of the error is inconsistent and it happens to random people infrequently.
So my question is. What gives? Too many login scripts? Recognized Microsoft issue? I was hoping that someone could shed some light on a fix or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Ed
