Loosing a networked Drive

When the user logs off the server, it's loosing a networked drive (W), but
when the user logs back in the drive is restored. How do I make to so the
drive is always available?

Assuming you use logon script, you can use this command net use H: \\remitepc\sharedname /persistent:yes.

How about a machine startup script vs. a user logon one -- with
persistent mapping?
