Error when trying to map a drive in a log on vb script

Hi, I have a vb script log on script which I am calling from Group Policy and running on Vista Clients. I get the following error when trying to map a network drive in the script:

"The specified network resource or device is no longer available."

Please see attached code... your help would be appreciated, thanks

If (IsMember("STUDENTS") = TRUE) Then
	strUNCPath = "\\server1\students$\" & strUserName
	subMappingRoutine
	Wscript.echo "You are logged in with a Student account"
Else
 
	strUNCPath = "\\server2\STAFF$\" & strUserName
	subMappingRoutine
	Wscript.echo "You are logged in with a Staff account"
End If
 
Sub subMappingRoutine
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strUNCPath
End Sub

can the accounts your running that logon script against access those hidden shares on thier own? That isn't a vbscript error, that's a windows error. You'd get the same error if you tried a net use command instead of using WSH/VBS.

OK... so how do I map the network drive (home area) in a script ? The script works fine when I log on with a staff account (ELSE statement) but not if I log on as a student account.
