Hi, I don't think that this applies or is related to the problem. The kb article indicates Server 2003, 2000, or NT 4 and also the drive doesn't ever get disconnected. Once I use the drive it's there for the remainder of the session. It's just on logon that the drive isn't there until I use My Computer or navigate to it manually. There's also no 'Red X' on the drive either.
Thanks for the replies though.
