What is the client OS? When you go in to computer and check the mapped drive, is it still present or has it completely disappeared?
Is there any scenario that the mapped drive will recover? IE, user logoff/logon, or rebooting the laptop.

The other two are manual drive mappings set to reconnect. No VMware is involved. I get requests about broken links when users are on and off the network. No certainty of when the mapped drive actually disappears. UNC path will work. Offline files are not enabled No media readers. Using Lenovo T450S laptops.

Group Policy Preferences? If they are, there should be an event logged indicating why the mapping failed. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jimmy Tran Sent: 13 July 2016 18:45 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] Drive mappings disappearing Randomly I get certain users who call saying their network drive mapping shortcuts don't work from their desktop. When checking the network drive mappings, the mapping itself seems to be been deleted. Once we manually remap the drive, the shortcut works again. Any idea why/how the drive mappings get removed? I have no idea what could cause this and the users are starting to get annoyed. * There are no logon or logoff scripts on the domain * The users are on laptops and often take their laptops off the network * There are 3 drive mappings. One of them is mapped by the home drive property from AD. Usually only one is missing at any given time. * The users definitely didn't delete the mappings Thanks, Jimmy
