Under our GPO, there was a mistake made. A drive was mapped to the first available drive letter (call it E). As a note, this is hidden drive.
When a user then tried to insert a USB key, they did not get a mapping and thus could not see the USB drive. Normally, it would have used E (but that is now used by the GPO mapping).
We changed the GPO to correct the mistake, so the GPO was deleted and recreated to use F:
This didn't seem to solve the issue though. While the GPO mappings were corrected, users still cannot see their USB disks.
When inserted, they just see nothing. If I go into Disk Management, I can see the drive sitting there with E label, but the drive is essentially hidden. I can change the drive letter and then it appears, but if I change back (or insert a different
USB disk), E is still not visible.
The other odd thing I am seeing is that even after gpupdate, I am getting a message to the effect that the system could not reconnect mapped drives at logon time - even though the mapped drive (F) is connected.
anythoughts?
