these may help. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Example of VBScript - Mapping a network drive based on the group

' Map a network drive if the user is a member of the group.
' Alert the user if the drive cannot be mapped.
If IsMember(objUser, "accounting") Then
If Not MapDrive("Q:", "\\chicagotech\data") Then
MsgBox "Unable to Map Q: to AdminShare"
End If
End If

Example of batch file

net use h: \\hostname\sharedname

Where is logon script located

By default, on Windows NT 3.x and 4.0 DC and workstations, the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts folder is shared as NETLOGON for
saving logon script. On Windows 2000/2003 servers, the
%SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\domainname\Scripts folder is shared as NETLOGON.
On Windows 2000/XP workstation, the default location for local logon scripts
is the %Systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder. The
%Systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder is not created on a new
installation of Windows. Therefore, the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder must be created and shared
out with the share name netlogon.

If this is the exact batch file you have a problem. You can't map two
drives to the same drive letter. The error 67 means exactly what it says,
one of the two lines that start with 'net use x:' is not pointing to a
proper share. Try typing each line in a command window and see which one
causes the error. But first change one of those 'x's to a different drive
letter.

thanks for your reply richard !
my bad, on the batch file they're on a different drive letters. i just
noticed that when i click the workgroup, it is suddenly not accesible so i
have to search for the computer (server) before it comes up only then i could
map the drive. i guess that may be reason why am getting error 67. but
still, if i have already mapped it previously it should reconnect at logon?
Please advise !!!! Again thanks for your response.

I don't know why you have the 'net use /persistent:no' line in that batch
file, especially if you want to re-connect to shared folders when you
reboot. That command maps shared folders for a single session only. Get
rid of it, instead change your sharing commands to read:

net use x: \\server\shared /persistent:yes

oopppss, anyway, i've use net use on the command prompt to see if it is
connecting ...same error. i ahave also resolved the other issue "workgroup
not accesible" i now can see all my computers. i just wont reconnect at
logon. i have also tried net config server /autodisconnect:-1 ( (checked on
net help to make sure i am executing a right command) so it wont drop the
connection when idle (m getting a syntax error). so, so confused!!!
