It the preference setting for the drive mapping is set to “Apply once and do not reapply” in the Common settings, then if someone deletes the mapping, it won’t come back.

Is it listed in the registry? I have previously seen where a drive letter did not show in My Computer\Windows Explorer but it did exist. IIRC I deleted the registry entries and remapped and all was well, YMMV. *From:* [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *On Behalf Of *James Rankin *Sent:* Wednesday, April 01, 2015 7:13 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* RE: [NTSysADM] RE: mapped drives GPO That’s strange. When a File or Registry Action fails, I’m pretty sure it spits something out to the application or system log. Do Group Policy Preferences rely on Loopback Policy Processing at all? Is this configured for the users in question (assuming the drive mapping is applied to a machine OU, not a user one)? *From:* [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *On Behalf Of *David McSpadden *Sent:* 01 April 2015 12:23 *To:* '[email protected]' *Subject:* RE: [NTSysADM] RE: mapped drives GPO I have been looking in events and so far nothing . *From:* [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *On Behalf Of *James Rankin *Sent:* Wednesday, April 01, 2015 7:16 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* RE: [NTSysADM] RE: mapped drives GPO Usually when a Group Policy Preferences Action fails (I’m assuming that’s what you’re using) it writes something to the event logs.

Also, I assume that you can manually connect when logged in as the user?
