The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Getting "Access is Denied" message when attempting to map network drive

Asked by Pbbarntt in Windows 95 - 98 Networking, Miscellaneous Networking, Hard Drives & Storage

Tags:

What Im trying to do is map a network drive using a VB script at login through my GPO. What seems to be happening is when a user logs in, the script is executed, but it stalls at the actual mapping of the drive. From what I can surmise, it stalls here because no valid username or password has been supplied and thus I get Access is denied. I came to this conclusion because when I take the same address and enter it into a normal explorer window or map drive wizard, it prompts for a username and password and thus allows access, but the script does not give this same prompt.

When I wrote this script, I was hoping that the same credentials that were used to login to the workstation could be somehow used to also login to the mapped drive, but so far, I've had little luck.

I included the script that maps the drive as well, verbatim.

Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
