GPO Drive maps inconsistent
New Server

There are from 2-6 drive maps that occur based on Security Groups.
On one of the drive maps that is for every user, some get it mapped, some don't. For the ones who don't get it mapped, they can access it through the path (\\Server\Share) no problem.
So annoying.
It's almost as it tries to map before the network connection is ready.

The above expert is probably right, especially if you have DNS issues as well. But GPO's don't always work either. And he's right in that there is more than one way to do most things in Windows. For example, in our environment we wrote a simple login script that everyone runs. The login script is responsible for checking for the existences of a mapped drive and then mapping it if it isn't there. This works about 99.999% of the time. Why it's not 100% is anyone's guess.

It appears that the main drive map issue that I'm having is related to conflicts with existing drive letters or leftovers from the previous domain.
If there is an issue with DNS, it appears to be minor in nature.

Discovered both the cause and the resolution myself.
There is more than one right way to do things. But for every right way, there are three wrong ways. And one bad decision early can have a ripple effect and the more you build on.a shaky foundation, the harder it'll be to go back and fix. You need to concentrate on ONE problem at a time. Don't try to fix ten things at once. And based on some of your questions, it may be time to call in some extra help. The cost of one consultant will quickly pay for itself in time saved and long term stability vs having a broken implementation.
