Hello,Make sure you have the proper UNC path for the backup location, and that GPO can access the share/folder. Also I will run a resultant test wizard on a user/workstation and see if policy isnot applied and why. Check your event log and psot any errors relating to policy not applyingIsaac Oben MCITP:EA, MCSE

Hi Guilherme, This problem is usually caused by the Fast Logon Optimization feature of Windows XP. This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it by using the following policy: Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon. For more information, please refer to the following articles: Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305293/en-us How Core Group Policy Works http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784268(WS.10).aspx Regards, Bruce

Hello To All, First thanks to all for the answers. Did not worked. :( I talked to my boss and he told me that once before they used scripts to map drives, and then migrated to GPO. This could be garbage in AD ? If i desfragment it, that could work ? This problem happes with apx 30% of the users.Guilherme Teles

Hi Guilherme, If the scripts were set in user profile tab in ADUC, you need to manually delete them or customize a script to delete them. If you have any difficulty to customize the script, you can initial a new thread in our scripting forum. The support professionals there are more familiar with scripting and can help you in an efficient way.
