Check your DNS resolution from the hosts with problems.

I would assume best practice with 2008, is use group policy to implement the shares. Back in 03 days, scripting was the go, but now all the functionality is in group policy objects. Try using IP addresses in the script - that will prove if you are having DNS issues.<br />
<br />
To troubleshoot, add some lines to write the computer name to a file if successful / if fails. <br />
<br />
Maybe share your code?

Our environment consists of Server 2008 r2 and Windows 7 hosts.<br />
<br />
We are mapping network drives using a VBS script and a GPO.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
We are getting inconsistent results where sometimes it will map the drives and some times nothing.<br />
<br />
Can you help? What is best practice on mapping network drives for host machines in this scenario ?<br />
