Mapped Drives vs Network Locations?

[thimon]

Hi all,

 

We currently map shared drives to users via a logon script, however I'm looking into setting network locations via GPO instead. I'm reading that network locations are better than mapped drives as mapped drives are vulnerable to malware attacks. What are your thoughts or current processes regarding this? I've also found that Word doesn't support emailing links from documents on mapped drives, but does from network locations.

 

Any advise or help regarding this would be really appreciated
