Configuring Mapped drives on Windows 7 with a 2003 Domain controller
Hi,
Admittedly, our domain controller is old and will need to be upgraded eventually, but it's the best I have for now. I'm running into an issue where the script will not run and map drives to all PC's that log onto the domain. Right now I have it configured with a .bat file in the sysvol\{Domain}\scripts folder. Here is the script that I'm running.
net use x: /delete /y
net use x: "\\PCNAME\Shared Folder"
I would appreciate any tips to get these mapped drives to work with these Windows 7 PC.
Thanks in advance!

If you can't, maybe you are not capable to see the server either.
Run the basics, try to ping the server by ip and dns to see if any works. Run the commands manually in one of the stations to see which error you get. Troubleshoot as needed and try the script again.
Most likely you need to enable Network discovery. If the network discovery setting on your computer is set to Off, you won't see other computers and devices on the network. To change your network discovery setting, follow these steps:
1. Open Advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and Sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click Change advanced sharing settings.
2.Click the chevron Picture of the chevron icon to expand the current network profile.
3.Click Turn on network discovery, and then click Save changes. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
