I have a 2008R2 domain with Windows 7 computers. &nbsp;Have setup a logon script that maps certain drives when a user logs on. &nbsp;As long as the user is connected to the network and logs onto the domain they get their mapped drives. &nbsp;But if they go mobile and are not connected to the network they lose their mapped drives. &nbsp;Drives that have been manually mapped still show up but those that are done thru the logon script do not. &nbsp;This is a problem when they are mobile and connect to our network with a VPN and cannot access the drives they need.<br />
<br />
Is there a way of keeping the mapped drives whether they are on the network or not?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any suggestions
