Mapped Drives not showing up. Are my desktop systems to fast?

[Steve Long]

We have a W2003 domain with XPsp2 clients that receive drive mappings
through a logon script that's been working just fine for years.
We have just begun deploying new fast HP desktops and the scripts that have
been working for years fail to work completely most of the time.

When we boot one of these new computers, and logon most of the time none of
the drive mappings show up in explorer, sometimes one of them might but
rarely all of them. If you look in the Disconnect Network Drive tool box you
will see all of the drives that are supposed to be map but aren't

If you stop and then run explorer.exe that drives NOW show up as being
mapped.
Are my desktop computers soooo fast that they are outrunning the scripts
some how?

Doubtful. How is the login script deployed? Group Policy, or ADUC?
What's in the login script?
If you run it manually on the computer as that user after they log in, does
it run?
Do you see any errors, either when doing the above, or in the event logs?

(note - re the disconnected drives, don't make drive mappings persist
outside the login session. In a batch file, you'd use

net use x: \\server\share /persistent:no

you could also use

net use * /del
(or net use x: \del, net use y: /del)

....before the drives are remapped in the script.
