Trouble reconnecting to network drives...

[Philip Nunn]

here is my situation. I am mapping several network drives with our domain
logon scripts via group policy while the users are connecting to the network
in the office. When the laptop users logoff and go home and relogon with no
connection to our internal network, the drives are still there because of
the persistant connection. They then use our cisco VPN software to connect
to the internal network. When they do this, they click on the network
drives and they always ask for the username and password. If you type in
<domain>\username and password, it still does not let you connect. You can
only reconnect to the drives if you use a different UN and PW. Does anybody
know what is going on? Why are the users unable to reconnect to the drives
when they logon through the VPN? thanks for any suggestions and help!

If you use /persistent:no this won't happen....

Give them a copy of the login script batch file and put it on their
desktops - then they should be able to run it manually after connecting.
