Michael, We are all XP with a mix of SP2 and SP3 in a Win2003 native domain. It happens in both SPs, as far as I am informed. Joe, what kind of kixtart script command did you use? I have been thinking about converting us over from batch files to kix. Wayne

All workstations here are XPSP3 fully patched in a Server 2008 domain. The two users that happen frequently have similar user names (eg TPain and TMPain) although it does happen to others. I have been focusing on other issues so I have not dug through the event logs as it is an easy fix and does not happen all that often...maybe once or twice a week. Other facts: Completely new infrastructure: new switches, all LAN drops tested to CAT5E specs as part of a VoIP roll out, new servers, new racks, new patch cords, new image on the workstations.

However, sometimes it just maps the H: drive to \\fileserver\users and doesn't go all the way to the next level. We unmap and remap the user to the proper location manually and life goes on. But why is this happening at all? Is it just a Microsoft-ism? Is there some bizarre glitch running amok?
