I had a problem similiar to this today. Drives would map, then the
first drive would just disappear. When I would map it manually, it
would already show that it was mapped. Considering I knew that it
worked before I made changes to this version of the image, I
identified the changes as turning on mcafee services and making a
local login script that would autoupdate mcafee (4.5.1 SP1). After
playing around with these settings, I determined that the local login
script (used a run command within the registry
hkeylocaluser\software\microsoft\windows\currentve rsion\run\virusupdate.lnk
which linked to a batch file that ran the autoupdate silently) was
causing the problem. After removing that key from the registry, the
drive stayed.
It seems very odd, and my solution might not work for you, but I
thought I would at least post it...
