Thanks robber baron, as i said the network drive can slip for user, i have to from time to time go to his pc and run the net use X: /delete command and run the logon script manually, is it possble to run a batch file for the user while i look into group policy?
yes. the batch file is just the command you already know.
provided you know the name of the normal logon script... is this a domain PC ?
open notepad.
NET USE X: /delete /y
\\Server\folder\logon1.cmd
then save as Reconnect.cmd to C:\ or wherever. Even MyDocs.
then create a shortcut to reconnect.cmd on desktop.

Thanks again, it is a domain pc, tried it, doesnt work, logon script is an .exe file not a .cmd file located on one of our DC's, was looking for a short term fix, rather than group policy

logon.exe is a known virus result as well....
My SBS2003 / XP network does not have LOGON.EXE anywhere.

can you post the current logon script or command line ?
How is this script assigned to each computer ?

at time of logon, no access is available to local system, only to the domain NETLOGON area.
NET USE X: /delete /y
\\Server\folder\logon1.cmd
The script may be within the GroupPolicy, in which case you may have to move it to an accessible area, and update the Poilicy to call the new location.
