Runaway network drive letters

[David Trimboli]

Okay, this is a weird one. On a handful of machines on our domain, we've
started seeing users' drive letters being filled up with duplicates of
one of his pre-existing mappings.

For instance, G: may already be mapped to \\server\share. H: is usually
mapped to the home directory. When the strange thing happens, you get I:
through Z: showing up in My Computer as disconnected drives, and each
will connect to \\server\share.

There appears to be nothing in the event logs to explain this.

I can't find any information on this problem on the Internet. What's
going on?

Go to the following thread here ( listed below ) and see what others have
done or are doing. You're not alone, this problem seems to keep poping up.

Seems to be pointing towards Symantec Antivirus, but I have not confirmed
that on my machines. Good Luck ! !

Belated thanks for pointing this out to me, MBS. Unfortunately, none of
those strategies work. (We don't use Symantec anything here.)
