>>security policy blocks it from accessing the shares
In general, you should run "logon script" for mapping. The users must be able to map file server's shared folder when they logging in for any domain workstation.
For example:
#Logon.bat
net use * /d /y
net use x: \\fileserver\shared_folder
net use y: \\fileserver\shared_folder
net use z: \\fileserver\%username%

i am using a login script for mapping, all users have the same script only this one disconnects.
i have run the net config server command, let's see if that helps

Is the drive disconnecting or just not mapping?

This is shared folder not "mapped network drive"?
What is your script ?
The logon account have the permission to access this folder?

i seem to have two batch files on my computer that are named the same and have the same information. these batch files are set to run whenever a user logs into his/her computer.
one is located under C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\s
one is located under: C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\T
the script is:
net use T: \\TYLERSERVER\TBS /yes
net use W: \\Tylerserver\Snap4 /yes
net use X: \\Tylerserver\Snap3 /yes
net use y: \\Tylerserver\Snap2 /yes
net use z: \\Tylerserver\Snap1 /yes
rem \\TYLERSERVER\sysvol\TYLER

net use y: \\Tylerserver\Snap2 /yes
net use z: \\Tylerserver\Snap1 /yes
rem \\TYLERSERVER\sysvol\TYLER
You are still able to access Z drive (Tylerserver\Snap1) on this particular xp pro machine ?
* (Not directly access shared path)
Some of GPO will DISABLE the users directly access network resources.
