Windows 7 Laptop Mapped Drives

[Bugs]

Hi all,

 

We have a couple of machines which our SEN children are using, they are setup so they are not part of the domain but they are linked to the wireless for internet, and they have shortcuts setup so the can get to their home drive and other shared drives.

 

Each machine has a copy of some software called Zoomtext which is basically text to speech and a magnifier, its a client/server program and needs to contact the licensing server every few days or it reverts to a 14 day trial. We have a mapped drive setup so zoomtext just looks in the mapped drive for the file and that's it.

 

however, sometimes when the machine boots I dont think it connects the drives correctly so Zoomtext cant contact its license server, if left it then refuses to see it at all even after disconnecting and reconnecting with fresh login credentials.

 

so, does anyone how we can ensure they drives connect properly and get authenticated on boot up?
