Drive Map Script not working with Windows 7

I have a vbs script i am using to map drives at logon in my windows server 2003 R2 environment. This script has always worked perfectly in the past. Now when I implement this script in the main "Sales GPO" by adding it to the user config >windows settings > logon script it will not work for the users in this OU. If i take the same script and place it in the profile tab of the user object it seems to work. I checked the netlogon location and the script is there, I just don't get it. Is this something with Windows 7 or am I missing something simple here???

driving me crazy, please help....

Hi

In the GPO, when you go to the scripts section, can you try clicking on the Show Files button at the bottom, and then put the script in the folder that comes up? Something like

\\domain.local\SysVol\domain.local\Policies\{69A748C0-6721-441A-9A30-038FB2EEE19F}\Machine\Scripts\Startup

Also, another thing you can try is the EnableLinkedConnections registry key.

From Josh Philips at http://windowsconnected.com/blogs/joshs_blog/archive/2007/02/20/windows-vista-tip-enabledlinkedconnections.aspx :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
EnableLinkedConnections = 1 (DWord)

Hey essaydave,

Thanks for the quick response.

I am pretty sure it is in there now, have to check in the morning though.... Doesn't it have to be in there in order to add it to the GPO?
