I did find one thing that might have an effect. I took a computer that almost always gets the mapping wrong and removed the Ip of the "wrong" server from the service list and only had the IP of the server I wanted and did a reboot. This time it got it right. Need to do a few more reboots to make sure it works out.

We don't use perferred servers for login (leave box blank). THe clients login to which ever server is the first to answer the login request. However once authenticaion is completed the login script runs and that maps the users to the correct server/volume. End result is all servers handle logins and the users get access to the files they need. I have all my servers in the same SLP scope. I think if you try to micromanage these settings it will cause headaches down the road if you try to change your server or client configs.

(High school computers connecting to the grade school server etc.) The client on all of the boxes are being given the preferred server, tree, context etc. The network is simple - two servers in the same tree and context. The only thing I am unsure about is that the vendor that did the install set the service location on both of the servers to the same name (SCOPED). So in the client the Scope list is set to SCOPED (static) and the directory agent lists BOTH of the servers, with the server we want to connect to being listed first and the other one second. (ALL the IP addresses are static so these are set as static as well) -- Should we ONLY list the server we want to connect to in the directory agent list and leave the other one out? -- Should the servers have unique Scope List names?
