Unwanted Drive Mappings

We have a Win2K workstation connecting to a NT domain. At login, a script
is run which maps some drives on the network servers. After some time, we
find that the mappings seem to replicate themselves, eventually using up all
available drive letters.

Does anyone have any idea as to what can be causing this?

Thanks in advance,
Mike
 
is there a `net use * ` command (and the * is deliberately in there) in any
of the scripts? Check to see if any of the scripts are calling other batch
files that might be running locally on the server, rather than on the
clients.

The batch file that is executed at logon is the same batch file that is used
by all workstations in the domain and it is not calling any other batch
files nor does it have any net use * commands. The batch file maps 6
different shares on 2 different servers. Only one of the mapped drives
replicates itself.
This particular computer (one of ~50 win2k, winNT, and win98 workstations)
is the only one that is having this problem.

Hi,

I've seen that happening on NT4, when a user had shortcuts to files/dirs on
network drives on the desktop.
