Windows XP PCs lose their network drives

I have 10 new laptops attaching to a new Windows 2003 Server. We map a drive
through a login script, and every once in a while the drive doesn't appear
for the user.

What is the best way to get drives mapped on a consistent basis?

Thanks,

John

Do you mean it doesn't get mapped at all, or that it disappears once you've
mapped it?
What results do you see if you run the login script manually?

The drives are disappearing after they have been mapped. I am no longer
running a login script, and I am just mapping the drives manually. The users
say that the drives disappear, and word problems (due to folder locations
pointing to one of the network drives).

Thanks,

I must ask, why do you not want to run a login script? It is much better
than relying on each workstation to map manually.

If you create a batch file login script even just for testing and run it,
what happens?
