I have not been able to find a solution to my issue. I have many Windows 2008 R2 servers running as my DCs. I created a drive mapping group policy on one of the 2008 servers to map my network drives in my AD environment. My policy has been in place working great for about 10 months on my Windows XP machines. I just rolled out Windows 7 and and after 3 logins the Windows 7 machines cannot see the drive letters listed when I click "Computer” If I go out to DOS prompt and look at may mapped drives using the “net use” command I can see all the drives. I can also see the drive letters within programs like Word and Excel. I can always see my drives using the "Net Use" command or within programs. This may be a key piece of information, if I do a gpupdate /force and relogin I can see my drives in “Computer” for the next 3 logins but after that the drives within “Computer” are not visible any longer. I can always see the drives by using the “Net Use” command under DOS. Redoing the gpupdate the same thing will happen over and over again. I did find this on the web and put it into place on the Windows 7 machines but that did not seem to change my issue. This issue is not only for me as a domain admin but also my standard users so I don't think this solutions is a perfect match. After you turn on User Account Control in Windows Vista, programs may be unable to access some network locations On a side note: I can add drive mappings by using the command in "Computer" “Map to the network drive” I click on the Reconnect at Login box and the drives then will show up for me each time I login. I have about 150+ Windows 7 machines out in the field and I need to deploy about another 300 soon but the drive letters not showing up in "Computer" is holding me back. Your help would be appreciated.

Hi, Since all Windows 7 in your domain have this issue, and you can use “Net use” command to map the drive, that seems the problem related with the configuration of GPO on the Windows Server 2008 R2.
