Mapped drives shows red cross

I made a vb script in an OU mapping a shared folder to the users in the OU.
When the users open the explorer, the mapped drive blabbla on blabla (M
shows up with a red cross over it. When the users try to access M: they
don't get any error message and it works ok. Why is the red cross there and
how can I get rid of it?

Ignore it. It is just a stupid "icon" in explorer that doesn't always
refresh and get replaced by the "other" icon that doesn't have the "X". As
long as it is working, leave it alone. "F5" typically refreshes the
display, but it doesn't alsways work.
