Network Drives reappearing over and over

  • 772

At the beginning we use a Startup-scipt to map 3 Network-Drives: M,Q,S using net use. (Unknown, if /persist has been used)

Later, the logon script has been removed, the mapping has been relocated to a GPO, using the smae letters. (Unknown, if Reconnect was used)

Now, this GPO has been deleted as well - because the Access-Policies for These drives has changed, so lesser user have Access. Therefore, the drives have been relocated to other letters.

The drives still coming up (inaccessible) for a lot users with the letters M,Q,S...

Even if we manually disconnect the drives, delete the entries stored in the Registry (MountPoints2) - after another Login, they are mapped again.

Login-Script and Prior GPO are removed - 100% sure, GPO Update was forced, and the Change was introduced weeks ago...

Any Idea what could be the cause for this?

We also tried the frequently recommended way to : Disconnect, Map again (NO Reconnect Option), Disconnect again. Comes up after Login again.

  1. You should reconfigure the GPP settings, apply the GPO to the affected users (link the GPO to the appropriate OU or target it to a specific user group) and use the Delete action.

    Next time you use GPP you should enable the option Remove this item when it is no longer applied
