Drives mapped via script in GPO don't show in My Computer, but are mapped
I have a GPO that runs a vbscript to map a few shared drives for users. Some users get the drives mapped, but they don't show up in My Computer. You can tell they're mapped because when you go to map them manually, it warns that the drive is
already connected. The clients are Windows XP. Any ideas?

Try assining letter Z to the drive and if that doesn't work then download the hotfix.

This behavior occurs if you map a network drive to the first available drive letter after the drive letters for the local volumes and CD-ROM drives. When you install a new device or volume, Mount Manager, which assigns drive letters to volumes, does not
recognize the mapped network drive and assigns the next available drive letter to the new device or volume. This causes a collision with the existing mapped network drive.

Additionally, since this is Windows 7 forum, please ask your question in
Winows XP forum.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
