WinXP sp2, logon script to map 3 drives, two show disconnected but content accessible
I have a 3 users on a lan of 45+ machines running XP sp2 who's logon script started failing. When a user logs off and logs back on for the second time (without a restart) the two drives on our file server show up as disconnected. The content is visible and usable but the drives themselves "can't be found" and cannot be disconnected. You can see the logon script flicker on the first re-logon but not the second. It also mentions another scan running.
I removed the logon script and reinstalled it, didn't help.
I checked start up with msconfig and I don't see anything starting up that shouldn't be.
I also tried turning off the autodisconnect feature (net config server /autodisconnect: -1) but that didn't help. I tried disabling offline files, no change.
I unchecked the "reconnect at login" box thinking it may be conflicting with the logon script but that didn't help either.
I also installed and tried UPHClean-Setup in case the user was not being completely logged off but there was no change.
I disabled Computer Browser in Admin Tools but this didn't help.
Does anyone have any advice on what else to do. I'm out of ideas on this one.

OK, as RobWill tell, may help you a GP, but maybe not.
If problem still, you need to check, because no info about this Q-s:
Your "file server" is real file server on WinNTsrv, Windows2000srv, or 2003, or samba?
If OS is Win??srv you have enought srv CAL? (In your domain 45+ client!) -can check with license manager
On your XP's use real logout and login, or use quick user change?
In Windows explorer, if click on drive, can reconnect? If yes your LAN may on high load.
A simple cmd can help
dir DRIVENAME
If this domain is AD integrated, and you have CAL's more than concurrent users logged in, you need a Domain Security Policy change,and check all possibilities, in network access, in scripts.
