Hi Everyone,
I have a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, My work computers are connected to this server via AD. We have various Windows 7 users who use logon scripts to map the shared drives on their computers. With Windows 10 users we are not using the logon scripts to map the drives we are mapping the drives manually. The drives randomly dissapear on a windows 10 pc after a reboot and only one drive remains which is the drive mapped with letter L: We are not using group policy to map drives. Please can someone help me, Any help will be much appreciated

You could try How to delay Windows 7 autologon, so that the Domain will be available? (valid for Windows 10) as the network may not be up to remap the drives when drives before booting. Beyond that move the drive maps to Group Policy and the User Configuration, Preferences, Windows Settings and select Drive Maps.

Hi StephenTrigenius,
Did the issue occur with all the machines or the specific one? Are there any error or warning messages recorded in the Event Viewer(Windows Logs\Applications, System)?
1.Ensure you have ticked the "Reconnect at logon" option when you tried to map the drive.
2.Try to enable the following gpo then check the symptom again.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
3.Turn off the antivirus software and the firewall temporarily.
As a work around, we could configure the script or gpo to map the drive.
Best regards

Hi Mate, Yes Reconnect at logon is enabled, its only one specific windows 10 computer which is having this issue the other windows 10 machine is fine. Anti virus cannot be causing the issue as it works fine on the other machine with the same AV. Also i want to avoid using GPO's to map the drives if possible. Thanks for your reply

Hi StephenTrigenius,
Please try the following steps:
1.Try to reinstall the network adapter driver from the device manager.
2.Open an administrator command line and run the following command line to reset the TCP/IP stack.
ipconfig /flushdns (Clear the dns cache)
nbtstat -RR (release and refesh NetBIOS names)
netsh int ip reset (reset ip settings)
netsh winsock reset (Reset Winsock Catalog)
Reboot
3.Disable the powersaving feature of the network adapter driver from the device manager.
4.Disable the "autodisconnect" feature with the following command line.
net config server /autodisconnect:-1

Hi StephenTrigenius,
Are there any error or warning messages recorded in the Event Viewer(Windows Logs\Applications, System)?
"it looks like its both windows 10 computers on the domain" " its only one specific windows 10 computer "
Did the issue only occur with the specific Windows 10 machine or all the Windows 10 machines?
" its only one specific windows 10 computer "
Have you configured the logon gpo script to map the drive? Did the script run well when we run it manually?
If you have configured the gpo to map the drive, please add "net use */d " to delete all the mapped drive then map the drive.
Best regards

Hi,
I've almost the same problem, since we use windows 10 the homedrive mapping to H:\ isn't working for some users. the mapping is set in AD for each useraccount. if try to map with net use command, I'm getting the error 67.
UAC is active, I'd already had set :
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
Who has ideas?

Hi StephenTrigenius,
"how can i apply the script to those specific AD users only? "
We could create an OU and put the specific users to this OU and link the logon script gpo to this OU.
