Mapping drive problem

[acidtripwow]

So I work in a small company and we are running AD with mostly 2003 servers. I created a vbs script that maps drives and it was working great for several months. One day all of a sudden it did not want to work for one server. There is a problem if you map to that drive manually from Windows explorer, too. In some case we have to try it several times before it connects but at other times it will connect the first time. This server is a Windows 2000 server machine. I replaced the NIC and cat5 cable and that didn't help. I switched ports on the Cisco switch and that didn't help. I ran Dell Diagnostic and it passed all tests. I checked for viruses and found none. I defragmented the hard drive and that didn't help either. I downloaded the latest updates and am still having the same problem. I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe it's a dodgy drive... are there other drives in the server which work ok? or is it the whole box?

so, you are having probem trying to map a drive from win2k server, is this right ? are you having problem with other client/server on the network accessing this share mapped drive ?

The drive is on a 2000 Server. I'm just trying to map from different clients, XP Pro and 2000 Pro. It's a second SCSI drive in the box.

can you access the share by their UNC (\\server\share)? Also check on the server to see the status of the drives and the share drive/folder.

I found the problem. The time was off on the server so I had to do a "net time /domain /set" on the server and now my login script is working again.
