Mapped network drive missing subfolders

[Guest]

Our LAN comprises a Windows Server 2003 machine and Windows XP clients. All
clients have their E drive mapped to the server's 'ads-serv/ads' directory.
There are 5
subdirectories under this directory and I can see all 5 from all other
client machines that have this network drive mapping but on this particluar
one I only see 3 subdirectories under 'ads-serv/ads'. In particular it is
missing a subdir called 'Elite'.

The weird thing is there is a shortcut on the desktop that maps to
'E:\Elite\bin' which launches our MedicsElite client application and this
works fine! Its
just that we are unable to see the 'Elite' folder under E.

I tried deleting this mapping and recreating it but even when I go under 'My
Network Places' and dig down to 'ads-serv/ads', I only see the 3
subdirs not 5. Any ideas? I suspect someone accidentally deleted this subdir
but now there seems no way to restore it! Help!

Dont know if it applies also to 2003 server but some files/folders not
seen across the network while others are for no apparent reason sounds
like the 885250 update.

Try uninstalling this and seeing if the problem goes away.

There are several threads from a few weeks ago concerning this.

John,

885250 (from my browsing the posts in this group) only applies to XP SP2
machines - the machine I reported this problem on is running XP (no
upgrades). I cant see how this update would have been applied to our machine.

Hi John,

How do I:
a) determine if 885250 patch update has been installed?
b) uninstall the patch if it is there?

Thanks!

Uday
