I've read severalarticlesaboutpeoplehaving issuesmapping network drives to DFS shares. My case a little different... I think. We just recently joined a laptop w/Vista Business to our domain. We have a login script that runs, which maps 3 drives - F, S and T for all users. When logging into the domainfrom the laptop, S and T map fine, but the F drive does not map. We can map it manually, but it will not map on its own via the login script. Thelogin scriptlooks something like this: NET USE F: \\FQN.domain\root /PERSISTENT:NONET USE S: \\FQN.domain\root\folder1 /PERSISTENT:NONET USE T: \\FQN.domain\root\folder2\folder3 /PERSISTENT:NO I don't receive any errors. Any ideas?

Hi, To move on, please help collecting more information to narrow down the problems scope: 1. Check whether the DFS share has been mapped (but cannot be displayed). To do so, after logon, please click Start, and then type "F:\" in the Start Search box. Can you access the mapped drive? 2. Check whether the problematic computer can access the DFS root. Please go to the problematic computer and try to access \\FQN.domain\root directly. How it works? If you are able to access the DFS root, please continue with the following steps. If not, I think it is probably a permission issue of the DFS root. 3. Check whether the script can be manually executed. To do so, try to manually run the script after logon. Please let me know if the drives are mapped properly this time. If it does not work, please manually run the command to see how it works. For example: NET USE F: \\FQN.domain\root /PERSISTENT:NO If there is any error message, please let me know. 4. Collect more information. On Windows Vista, create a folder "info" in drive C. Please change the content of the script as the following. ECHO "-----------------------------------------" >>C:\info\mapdrive.txt Date /T >>C:\info\mapdrive.txt Time /T >>C:\info\mapdrive.txt NET USE F: \\FQN.domain\root /PERSISTENT:NO >>C:\info\mapdrive.txt NET USE S: \\FQN.domain\root\folder1 /PERSISTENT:NO >>C:\info\mapdrive.txt NET USE T: \\FQN.domain\root\folder2\folder3 /PERSISTENT:NO >>C:\info\mapdrive.txt Please then log on again. If the issue persists, please open the file C:\info\mapdrive.txt and paste the contents in your post.

1. No, F:\ cannot be accessed. 2. Yes, I can access \\FQN.domain\root directly from the Start Search box. 3. So, interesting thing. I copied the line from my script to manually execute it, as you suggested. Here's what I had: NET USE F: \\FQN.domain\root\ /PERSISTENT:NO I got a System error 67 - The network name cannot can be found. I then looked at your example, and saw the \ was not at the end of the path. So, Iremoved itfrom our domain login script, rebooted the laptop, logged in and bang - it worked. This whole time it was one simple \ that was throwing it off. Thanks for your help and ideas!

Hi Thank you for telling me how it works. It seems that if we add "\" at the end of the path, the path is not recognized as a valid direction. If there is any further question on this issue, feel free to let me know.
