Hi, I have done some research on this topic but have been unable to come up with a solution. Currently we have users who need to access network drives when connected remotely via VPN but up until now are unable. I have even changed the server name to an IP Address in the mapping and still without a success are unable to view the drives. The mapped drives are set up on a Windows Server 2008 Standard and the users who are trying to access them are using XP Pro. Not sure if anyone has encountered this and what your solution was but i would apppreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi Adranos, What the exact error message do you have? How did you create a mapped drive? By using GP Preferences drive maps, using a script or manually map drive for Windows XP, like below? Create a mapped VPN drive in Windows XP http://support.meritsolutions.ca/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=4 If drive maps preference items are unable to process across a VPN connection, you can enable Drive Maps preference extension policy processing setting and select "Allow processing across a slow network connection" & "Process even if the Group Polcy objects have not changed" options under "Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy" If you are using a script, you need to enable "scripts policy processing" setting and select two options above.

The mapped drives are mapped via a login script which then still show up with when you login at home except you are unable to access the drives via VPN. Though if i connect via workgroup (name of the computer) and not the domain profile i am able to connect to the drives via VPN.

Thank you. With the help of another member (Michael) i was able to resolve this on another posting. Solution: Mapping need to be removed and then re-mapped with the users credentials.
