Re: [DUG] Mapped drives
I think it just takes a while. Have you tried making the share/map persistent on the the workstation.

Re: [DUG] Mapped drives
When you map the drive tick the optiion to “Restore mapping on logon”. That way if a user loses the mapping you can just tell them to log out and logon again to fix it. As long as the network connection is there when the PC starts that normally works fine. If it doesn’t can be because a password is required to connect to the network drive and for some reason its not being remembered behind the scenes, or the network connection is not available at login.

Re: [DUG] Mapped drives
what about using the UNC path instead of the mapped drive letter? There may be some security issues to deal with, but it wont require the mapped drive to be mapped before it can use it as is teh case now.
