Network drives will not map randomly

Windows 2003 network, XP Professional machines.

Some of our machines will not map drives when users log in. This
occurs to random users on random days. Rebooting the machine fixes
the problem. Any ideas?

Not with so little info, sorry. Please provide a lot more detail. One
presumes you're using AD - how are your login scripts assigned? What do they
actually contain? What do you see in the event logs on the client? What SP
on the client?

Using Active Directory. We use group policy to assign login scripts
to our 2 groups. This happens to members of both groups. The only
items in the login script are net use commands to map 3 drives for 1
group and 4 drives for the other group. There are no events on the
Windows XP SP3 clients.

OK.

Where are the GPOs linked, and how are they filtered?

net use n: \\milwpen\apps
net use r: \\milwpen\client
net use t: \\milwpen\marc

The other script also has

net use u: \\milwpen\pbgc

K - I'd add /persistent:no to the end of all of those, if it were me.

Also, you didn't answer my other question - and pls don't snip out all the
quoted text in your replies or it will be difficult for others to follow
this thread. Thanks.
