Can't seem to map network drive automatically in windows 2003
This is using a windows 2003 server in AD domain. There is a workgroup server that share out few file shares, and one of the file share named "shareA" are needed to be mapped to this server upon rebooting.
On Windows 2003 server, I logged on as domain admin, and in command prompt, type "net use S: \\workgroupserver\shareA /u:workgroupserverA\userA password /persistent:yes"; to map the drive permanently. But, upon rebooting the system, S: drive not mapped again. Any way to make S: share drive mapped permanently. Remember UserA got the R/W access to the shareA.

I don't know about win 2003 but on XP pro SP3 I use vSubst to map folders as virtual drives and it persists.

Yes, tried to map on windows, and it ends up the same. Use of 3rd party is not an option.

Should work, unless something is get in the way...
Do you consider using a batch file on startup as a viable option?
