Network Drive Persistence

I have a Windows 7 PC on a domain network (server 2008 r2) that is requiring the user to login to his network drive after every reboot.  There are 10 users on the network and he is the only one affected.  Things I've tried:  Creating a custom login script for this user and added the persistent:yes tag (Getting a long delay at login, doesn't appear that the script is being picked up), Entering credentials into Creds Manager manually (Noticed that persistence option says: Logon Session and can't change), Editing GPO Comp Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security optopns > Network Security:LAN Manager authentication Level.  I've done some LAN speed test scans and the network doesn't appear to be bogged down speed wise, but communication with the server seems to be the crux of issue, or not, hell I'm on experts-exchange asking, I have no Idea.

if your sure the permissions on the share  and folder are not the problem I would log the user in on another PC if the issue does not occur there try rebuilding the users profile. Another thing to check is SMB configuration on the workstation having the issue.
if it does occur on another machine then you know it is something on the server side such as permissions for example.
Check your event logs - this should be the first place you look when the obvious doesn't work.

Check the DNS - if there's a long delay you could have it wrong.  ONLY the DC should be listed as the DNS server.

If applying via group policy, run GPRESULT /R to get a report of the policy results and make sure the policy is applying.
