Along these lines, is there a way to force USB / removable devices to only get drive letters below a certain letter, kind of like DOS's LASTDRIVE= ? David Lum // SYSTEMS ENGINEER NORTHWEST EVALUATION ASSOCIATION (Desk) 971.222.1025 // (Cell) 503.267.9764

I'd check Computer Management, Disk Management for used drive letters. HTH.

We have GPOs that map needed drives for the users. One of the login scripts maps the user to their home directory, which looks like the following: Net use F: /d Net use F: \\server\%username% /Persistent:yes The issues we're getting are the following: 1) Randomly the F: drive will not be mapped at all. 2) Randomly the F: drive will be mapped to \\server\Users, instead of the person's personal folder. I mention the rollout of new PCs, because this behavior wasn't happening beforehand. My personal preference for mapping personal drives is to do it within ADUC, under the Profile tab, but that's not how it was when I got here, and I'm still trying to plan switching it over without disrupting users. There are no other login scripts that map the F: drive, so there's no conflict there. Sometimes having the person log out and back into the network fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. Also, when I mention random, I mean it. Random users, random times, random symptom between the above two. Any help on where I can look to figure out why this is happening would be great.
