Hi All!

I use a GPO to map drives. It is working great with some of them but not mapping others.

I use the REPLACE option (just in case they have something mapped already) with all drives. Two of them are applied at the OU level; meaning if the USER is part of the OU they get the drive.

I have other drives that are Item Level targeted by Group. One of them is working fine. I add the users to the security group and make sure the user is in the OU where the GPO is applied. However, other drives are not mapping; even though I verified the user is part of the security group that is suppose to receive the drive.

Do you know why this would happen? Is it maybe a permissions things? I am lost at this point.

Thanks!

Verify that the user is getting the policy for starters (gpresult /r on the client). Also, be certain that when you added the security group you did not remove rights to “authenticated users” from the GPO. Only remove the “applied” permission from Authenticated Users.

What that means is that on the Security Filtering screen of the GPO, you remove Authenticated Users and only have your security group listed there. Then go to the Delegation tab and add Authenticated Users with READ permissions.

Have you tried to apply map drive using Logon script on those users? Please try this, If it didn’t work check this out:

I had to also make sure the APPLY GPO option was checked. For some reason it was missing. After checking that box for every group the GPO applies to, the users who belonged to those groups were able to get the mapped drives.
