Only certain mapped drive disappears - try 2

We have a 2003 server with shares. We use the "Connect [drive_letter] to
\\server\users\[user_id]" in the user's profile (in Active Directory Users
and Computers) to make their folders available.

Once or twice a week one user has the "Z:" drive disappear. All others are
there. She can log out or reboot and it will not come back. If I use the
"Connect [drive_letter] to \\server\users\[user_id]" in the user's profile to
change it to something else then change it back, she gets the drive back.
Sometimes it'll come back after a few days (like over the weekend).

Any ideas?

TIA

Do you get an error msg if you go to the user's machine and try to map
the drive manually after it has disappeared?

Have you checked the event log on the user's machine for any error
msgs related to this event?

No, they just disappear during the day or do not reconnect during login.

Trying a net use command sometimes shows the drives as "present." But
trying a drive change in DOS with give me a (to paraphrase a bit) "Network
resource not available."

Thanks,
