XP loging into an NT Domain

Hello all,

This seems to be a basic issue that I just can't find a well defined
answer for. I currently have an NT domain with NT servers and NT
workstations all running SP6a. We are (finally) starting the slow
migration to XP. Initially, I am planning on updating the workstations
first because our new machines come pre-installed with XP pro. My
problem is connecting correctly to my NT Domain.

Situation:
I have a login script that runs which the XP machine picks up and runs
certain parts of. Also, we have policy's that are set up that set up
drive mapping. When I log my XP machine onto the network, it maps two
drives out of about 6. Now, if I go to manually map a drive, I see
them already set up, but they don't show in windows explorer, etc.
Also when I boot up, XP tells me there was an issue with the network
shares.

Question (s):
1.) Is there a better way I should be logging an XP box onto an NT
domain? I know that XP uses GPE, should I attempt to make a standard
policy from my XP machine and store it on the NT server for future
machines to read from?

2.) Why can't I see the mapped drives in explorer?

3.) Anything else you can think of that would help me out!

Thank you for you help!

Tony
