Windows 7 problem with drive mappings from Windows Server 2008

Hi Guys,

We have a VB mapping script in Windows Server 2008 that maps drives for users through group policy.

The one user on Windows 7 professional experienced a problem with one of his drives (P:) that did not map. We added a short-cut to the VB-script on his desktop.

This worked for a couple of weeks, with him manually clicking the short-cut on his desktop.

Now, not even the manual backup script maps the P: drive first time round. After a restart and retry, the P: drive suddenly appears.

Something on his machine is preventing P: drive from mapping correctly. Drives before P: drive, such as drive N: and O: map successfully, without any problem.

Will appreciate any ideas?

Open Command prompt and run below commands,

wmic server get ErrorsAccessPermissions
wmic server get ErrorsGrantedAccess
wmic server get ErrorsLogon
wmic server get ErrorsSystem

If you are getting any error for these commands, Act based on error message.

Also install Process Monitor from Sysinternals site (below link)

And you can track the Boot time logging of all operations
