Mapped drives are showing red X.
Rod Brissey
autodisconnect in the registry to fffffff which is a
really long time. I have also run the "net config
server /autodisconnect:-1". None of these have helped my
client out. As soon as they log in they have the x's on
the mapped drives. This client uses these mapped drives
all the time for their projects at their company. I have
also had them disconnect all maps and log out and back in
to see if there was a conflict with the script and a
manually mapped drive. Everytime after logging in,
Explorer is showing the red x's on the maps. Usually it
should at least remove the x's when you click on the
drive, well this one doesn't. The big deal here is... The
client opens a file, edits it, then saves it.. upon saving
it asks if he wants to overwrite, he says yes, then it
tells him that he does not have access to this drive, he
hits ok then it goes ahead and saves it. This computer is
the only one out of 30 computers in the domain having this
problem. Any ideas? I know they have recently gone over on
their CAL's but that should affect more than one computer
and not the same one every time. Please email me with a
solution.
Thanks, Rod.

Problem with a red x on mapped drives
Symptoms: 1. there three computers in the peer to peer workgroup with a
Multi-user version of Peachtree. Two computers were just upgraded from ME to
XP Home and third one runs ME. After this upgrade, XP #2 shows a red x on
the mapped XP #1 peachw folder and can't run Peachtree unless you
double-click red x marked peachw drive to active it.
2. You may also experience saving issue too. Sometimes, when saving a file
to a network drive with red x, you may get an error which says document not
saved while is saving.
3. You may have browser issue when opening My Network Places and can't see
any or some computers. Or it takes long time to shows networking computers
in My Network Places.
4. Firewall and autodisconnect are not issues here because all firewall and
autodisconenct are disabled.
Resolution: 1. Make sure no browser problem (Re: Browser issues)
2. Create a logon batch file with no persistent mapping.
3. Still need help, contact consultant boblin20@hotmail at

Put a batch file in the user's startup group with this text...
net use x: \\server\share

think that this issue is Computer related and not Network related. This
happens to others sometimes, but to this one computer ALL the time.

Mapping problem - persistent connection
After you changed net use I: \\serverA\shared to \\serverB\shared in your
logon script, some windows 2000 machines are still mapping to
\\serverA\shared. The reason is that net use /persistent:yes is default
settings for NT and win2000/XP. You can disconnect the old mapping and
re-logon. That will map to \\cbgntB\shared. Also you may want to use NET
USE I: \\servername\folder /persistent:no so that next time when we change
the mapping, it will automatically map to the new settings.

back on, didn't change anything. Plus this is something that has happened in
the last month, and we haven't EVER changed locations of the server or files
to another server.news:eN#JvPK6C...@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl...
