vpn network drives

i have a laptop that connects to windows 2003 server and runs a login script
when physicaly connected to map drives.


when the laptop is connected via VPN we cannot acces the mapped drive. all
that appears is blank screen where the files and directories should be.

How can i make this mapped drive available for use on vpn as well as when it
is physically connected to the domain?

is there a batch file that i need to create on the laptop? (just guessing
there!).

thanks for any help!!

you can use the batch file or CMAK. For more and other information, go to http://howtonetworking.com.

Making a VPN connection is not a login operation, so login scripts do not
run.

You will need to actually do a login (eg by using the "login using a
dialup connection" option), or use some other event to trigger the script to
run. Or manually map the drive after connection.
