Mapped Personal Drives

I have a login script that maps 4 network drives. Every mapping works except
the users personal folder mapping, or P: drive. I think it may have to do
with sharing.

The 3 mapped drives that work are all mapped to shared folders. For example
in my script, there mapped as follows;

net use X: \\data\apps (apps is shared)

The P: drive doesnt work, but I dont have each users "personal folder"
shared out, I just have the "c:\Users" folder shared. Personal folders are
sub-folders within users.

My mapping command is;
net use P: \\data\users\%username% (everyones username has a folder of
equal value in the users folder)

I thought that would be ok, because i am able to map drives using Windows
Explorer on the users machine like that. Recently I created the login
scripts, because every so often the P: drive would disappear.

Do I have to share out each users folder and map directly to the share or is
their someway to avoid that?

Try enabling "Always wait for network...." in your group policy
settings....as I'm assuming you have a domain.

IIRC, it's in Computer Config-Administrative Templates-System-Logon -

"Always wait for network at computer startup and logon"
