Mapping Drives
Can any one please help me. My office runs a Windows 2000 server with 98SE
clients, last week I started to upgrade some of the clients to Windows XP
Pro. The installation went fine except the Windows XP Pro clients do not
appear to map the servers network drives from the user logon bat file, as
the Windows 98SE clients use to. For the time being I have mapped them
manually from Windows Explorer. Does any one know why the bat file does not
work on XP Pro clients. Thank you.

Regards

Andrew

Re: Mapping Drives
Disable XP's firewall.

Re: Mapping Drives
Thanks for the information, but the firewall has nothing to do with mapping
drives. I have resolved my problem now. Thanks anyway.
