Drive Mapping not showing up in Explorer Drive Listing

Question

Hi, I am having a strange problem.
I have a unc path that I want to map to and everything works fine.
Apart from one user.
When I try to map the drive under the probmatic account, I cant see anything in my drive list.
I can go to Computer and map the location by using the Map Network Drive button. (This works fine and the mapping appears.)
But the mapping doesn't appear if I use Net Use. (It says the command completed successfully but it doesn't show in my drive listing)
I have added the account to the local administrators group and turned off UAC.
It's really strange.
I need it to be able to map using Net Use because I have a batch file with a command in.
Have you come across anything like this?

Answer 1

Hi,
No multiple connection to the share using the same credentials. It's basically saying that I can't connect to the share as more than one instance of the same user.
But it's showing that no sessions exist. It's like it's not cleaning up the connections properly when you close them.
I have found some other articles.
This post sounds similar to what I am describing. It's from the following thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4b736ba5-268a-4dcb-a3ee-cc2abff0bb01/issue-with-group-policy-drive-mapping?forum=W8ITProPreRel
Run command "net use" in command line with administrator privilege and see if the drive is mapped.
If you can see the mapped drive in the result of net use but cannot see it in Windows Explorer, the issue may be caused by UAC. Are you the domain adminsitrator?
Similar issues occurred since Windows Vista. See:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766208(WS.10).aspx
It said:
UAC may prevent Group Policy logon scripts from appearing to work properly. For example, a domain environment contains a GPO that includes a logon script to map network drives. A nonadministrative user logs on to the domain from a Windows Vista computer.
After Windows Vista loads the desktop, the nonadministrative user starts Windows Explorer. The user sees their mapped drives. Under the same environment, an administrative user logs on to the domain from a Windows Vista computer. After Windows Vista loads
the desktop, the administrative user starts Windows Explorer. The user does not see their mapped drives.
When the administrative user logs on, Windows processes the logon scripts using the elevated token. The script actually works and maps the drive. However, Windows blocks the view of the mapped network drives because the desktop uses the limited token while
the drives were mapped using the elevated token.
