login script does not map all drives.

We currently have a login script that maps all the drives for our users. one users loses a drive when he reboots his system.  I have checked his permission and security settings and he has full access to the drive in question.   It works for all the other users.

Does this PC has good login to domain?
Do you need to input user name and password to reconnect the maps?
do you have Drive Letters assigned with the same  letter?
Melinda Burnscomputer supportAuthor Commented:
When he logs into another computer, the same thing happens. It  will map all the other drives except for one particular drive.  he ends up having to manually map it.
Juan Jose PerezMIS CoordinatorCommented:
does this drive has a letter assigned like E or D? that is interference with USB or DVD
JohnBusiness Consultant (Owner)Commented:
Can you open a regular (not admin) command prompt and do the following:

1. NET USE X: /Delete for all drives in the script.
2. NET USE <enter> and what is left?  Anything?
3. Run the script in the Command Prompt.  What error occurs?
Juan Jose PerezMIS CoordinatorCommented:
does this map has a letter assigned like E or D that interference with USB or DVD drives??
Melinda Burnscomputer supportAuthor Commented:
No it doesnt. I did check that.
Juan Jose PerezMIS CoordinatorCommented:

Melinda Burnscomputer supportAuthor Commented:
John,,,I deleted all the mapped drives using the NET USE command and then ran the script again. and it still did not map the G: Drive  All the other drives were mapped.,\

is the user part of the cadarch_ro?
Melinda Burnscomputer supportAuthor Commented:
No he is in the Cadarch_Full
Juan Jose PerezMIS CoordinatorCommented:
change the script for Cadarch_Full  just for this user.... and test
Juan Jose PerezMIS CoordinatorCommented:
because you are comparing Const G_Drive = "cn=cadarch_ro" vs  "Cadarch_Full"
Melinda Burnscomputer supportAuthor Commented:
I did make a copy of the script and placed it on his desktop.  I did not write the script so i am not sure what part of the script to change.
Melinda Burnscomputer supportAuthor Commented:
I can run the script and watch it delete the mapped drives per the script and watch it remap all the other drives except the G:Drive.
Juan Jose PerezMIS CoordinatorCommented:
only this:

Const G_Drive = "cn=cadarch_ro"

for this

Const G_Drive = "cn=cadarch_full"

and run it
TG TranIT guyCommented:
Have you checked the \\GE-H1\ and  \\GE-H1\cadarch shares again user account.  All the permissions are there?
Melinda Burnscomputer supportAuthor Commented:
Ok I changed the first line from Const G_Drive = "cn=cadarch_ro"  to Const G_Drive = "cn=cadarch_full"

and it worked.  So why does it work on other users in the same group and not his.
