This is on a Windows 2003 SBS wiht Windows xP pro workstations.

The network Drives are marked with a red X and say disconnected. If you
double click on the drive it works OK. Bottom right of desktop says could not
connect all network drives. If you right and try to disconnect the drive it
says that it is not able to it is not available. but you can work of the
drive.

I have gone in to safe mode as the user and disconnected the drives and then
rebooted and the issues goes away. for a few days then it is back.

Instead of relying on "remembered" share connections,
try mapping your shares via a logon script. Make start
it off like so:

@echo off
net use /persistent:no
net use * /del /yes
net use s: \\SomeServer\SomeShare
etc.

Currently we do use logon scripts. That's what makes the issue so peculiar.
Thanks for the response though.

So what happens when you incorporate the above lines
in your logon scripts?
