i have a bat file that runs for non admin users that maps printers and
drives, it first disconnects all drives and then reconnects.
my problem is, its failing to map some drives sometimes. i cant seem to
figure out why it would work sometimes and not others.

any help would be great.

thanks

Oh, that's much more clear now.  The problem is on line 306.

thanks for that Marty!

I would like to help, but you haven't provided any info.  This would be like
taking your car to a mechanic and saying "my car works sometimes and sometimes
it doesn't, what could be wrong?

All of the standard troubleshooting would apply, for example:

When it fails -
- What error number/error message does the logon script display?
- Are there any related event log entries on the client during this time?
- Are there any related event log entries on the server during this time?
- Is it always on the same client machines?
- Is the client always on the same OS/service pack combination?
- Is it always when connecting to the same share or printer?
- Is it always around the same time of day? (heavy load during morning logons,
backup or other processes are running, etc.)

Name resolution is always a suspect.  Make sure these clients can resolve the
server name by DNS, specifically nslookup.exe servername.  Make sure they are
not getting a differnet IP address from WINS resolution (nblookup.exe
servername).  As a test, you could modify the logon script to use the server's
IP address instead, if it never fails this way you might be on to something.

thank you, ill look into it a little deeper and get back to you if i have
some questions.
