Red X on network drives - drive not available
Ok, this is really for windows 7 however I didn't see a group for that yet.
We have replaced our old XP machines with Windows 7 and are now getting a red "X" on network drives. Some people don't have a problem and can access them and others get drive not available. How to fix? We have a Windows 2003 AD in mixed mode. Our people get their mapped drives from a batch file we created that looks like this: (net use p: \\server1\sharename /persistent:no) All servers and PC are up to date with all MS patches. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately the spammers have made news groups practically useless any
more. Controlled web forums is a lot more productive.

I appreciate your reminding me, but I do not at all appreciate the attitude with which you do it. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
