Windows Server 2003

Heres an interesting one.

At work when I remote on to servers using my administrator account.

This account is set up not to have a roaming profile so not to fill the servers up with crap.


On 2 random servers at completely different sites in the farm, I log on go to my computer and the server hangs for a moment; For the next 10 minutes it attempts to map a drive to as many network drives as it can, most of which are on other domains and not reachable from this one and it maps right up to z:

The same shared drives that do exist but you cant reach most of them each time you log in, but different ones on both servers.


I cant seem to get rid of them at all.


Any suggestions

I've not heard of that one before. Does the account have any logon scripts associated with it that may map the drives?

[djdaface]

its any and every account that has access to the server gets these same mapped drives.

And it doesnt happen on other servers so it cant be a user logon script.


I dont have access to group policy stuff, but i doubt its a random policy placed on the 2 servers accidently.


its very odd, none of my team can figure it out

i did find in google that its happened on xp machines before and u delete mountpoints2 from the registry HKUSERS but thats not the case for servers as its under a SID rather than default.

Can you get access to Group Policy, that's what it sounds like?

[djdaface]

ran secedit to see what policy was on it cant find anything about mapping these drives.
