Cannot map a network drive win 7 RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hello!

    I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 on my server and Windows 7 Professional on my clients. I have a problem with showing mapped network drives. Tried different ways:

      • User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Configuration > Drive Maps --- no result
      • User Configuration > Policies > Windows Configuration > Scripts --- no result
      • Added a name of the script in the field "ADUC > Properties of a concrete User > Profile > Logon Script" --- And that helped.

    But I'd like to map a network drive by "Drive Maps" in GPMC or at least by logon script in GPMC.

    What does --- no result mean? Just that your script or mapping did not
    worK? What do you see in the event log for your group policies? Are
    other settings of this policy applied to the user.

    Have you set run logon scripts synchronously in the Computer
    Administrative System Scripts section of the policy?

  • Hi,

    > User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Configuration > Drive Maps --- no result

    After user apply this policy, please use Group Policy Management Console to generate a Group Policy report, then you can check Group Policy Preference apply result at Settings tab of the report.

    > User Configuration > Policies > Windows Configuration > Scripts --- no result

    Please also generate a Group Policy report to check whether this policy applied to your user, and any error message if the policy not applied.

    If you can get drive mapped through this method, your script is correct. But if possible, please post your script.

    Check that and give us more information for further troubleshooting.

    For more information please refer to following MS articles:
