    Hi everyone,

    I added a DFS structure in the company I work for, and I created the NameSpace, Scheduled synchronization between File Servers, etc.

    However, yesterday tried to configure logon scripts in our environment by reflecting on the DFS environment, and something wrong happened. I tried to use the logon script in my AD account, but the letter units couldn't be loaded. The printscreen below shows up the error occurred:

    Obs.: The logon script I tried to configure is the following example below (vbs script):

    Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    UserString = WSHNetwork.UserName
    DomainString = WSHNetwork.UserDomain
    Set UserObj = GetObject("WinNT://" & DomainString & "/" & UserString)


    'WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "J:",true,true
    'WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "K:",true,true
    'WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "L:",true,true

    For Each GroupObj In UserObj.Groups
        Select Case GroupObj.Name

    ' Sales Dept

    Case "SALES"

            WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "J:", "\\MyDomain\DFSNameSpace\Share\FolderName1"
            WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "K:", "\\MyDomain\DFSNameSpace\Share\FolderName2"
            WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "L:", "\\MyDomain\DFSNameSpace\Share\FolderName3"

    End Select
    Next

    WScript.Quit

    Do you know guys what wrong is happening? How should I configure my logon scripts to reflect DFS Folders?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Thanks for sharing here!

    To know the issue more clearly, it will be helpful if you can collect the following information :

    1,You are try to map a network drive using the DFS path through the logon script, right?

    2,Did you try to map the drive manually ,can it be successfully created as following:

    Hi,

    I want to make sure that if there are problems withe DFS-N itself. Since we can manually create mapping drive successfully, then we may test if the the script was working well by changing a network path .

    Or you can consider the GPP to set the mapping mapping directly instead of the VBS script,The Group Policy Preference Drive Map extension enables you to configure mapped drives for an enterprise environment without the need of complicated and cumbersome logon scripts.

    For your reference:

    Hey Fan, how's it going?

    So, this is exactly the issue. The script is configured just as I had shown in my first quote. Here's an example:

    WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "J:", "\\MyDomain\DFSNameSpace\Share\FolderName1

    That doesn't work. This is exactly the situation. Btw, I have about a thousand users in my AD environment. All of them mapping network drivers by logon script. I wouldn't like changing the type of mapping to GPO.

    There's something wrong with this path. But I don't know what...

    Thank you for answering.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply!

    Just as a test to see if the path has a problem, use the GPP method provided above.

    If there is no progress, I would suggest you contact Microsoft Customer Services and Support to get an efficient solution:

    Hi Fan,

    Everything is working properly right now. I guess the old script was wrong. I made a new script, with the same DFS namespace, and that's working like a charm.

    Thank you for helping me.

    Have a good one!

    Best Regards.
