kixtart problem mapping a drive. Not showing up ish...

[reggiep]

Hi All I have a kixtart script that logs my resources drive like so...

;########## NETWORK DRIVES
USE R: "\\PRENTON2\RESOURCES"
USE P: "\\PRENTON2\NETSOFT"

 

My problem is that they sometimes do not map ish. What i mean is that they usually do but now and again they don't! Everything else in the script runs. If I then go to map the R: drive manually it actually shows that I can't use the r: drive as it's already mapped!

 

Has anyone else had this problem or could they suggest an alternative way to map this drive?

 

Thanks

Just off topic a bit, but can you map drives with kix that are hidden in "my computer"?

Yes, I have our curriculum apps network drive mapped via kix, but hidden from view via GP

Try deleting the drive mappings before you map them:

 

USE R: /DEL /PERSISTENT (use the /PERSISTENT if needed)

USE P: /DEL

Looking further into this it does appear that the mappings are being created. If I try to map a drive to for example r: that it is already mapped! It just isn't appearing in "My Computer"

 

Can anyone figure that one out?

 

thanks
