Drive Mapping and Wireless Networking

I have a AD network the desktops use a group policy to map drives when the
user logs on. However we have a new network access point when users log on to
this the mapping does not happen.

Is it possible to get the machines that are logging onto the wireless to map
drives automatically?

Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank
I have noticed that it depends on wireless drivers, if the machine policy
applies.
Originally I could not get machine group policy to apply as the wirelss
driver had to log on first as a user and this happens after machine policy
is attempted. and applied.
I first got around it by plugging in wired once then this updated machine
policy after that connected by wireless and it worked to a fashion.

The newer Intel drivers allow you to authenticate as a machine (I Think pre
logon) and this worked ok
Personnaly I would just write a script for those users and map with the
script at logon..
