Mapping network drive error

I am running 2003 STD with AD.  Using group policy I have
the
following code to map 2 network drive.  The drives map
correctly, but
I still get error 80070055 "The local device is already
in use"  I
know for a fact that there are no other mapped drives. 
Every
workstation only has C: and D:.  This happens for every
workstation
and user.


Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork, strRemotePath1, strRemotePath2
Dim strDriveLetter1, strDriveLetter2
strDriveLetter1 = "Z:"
strDriveLetter2 = "X:"
strRemotePath1 = "\shaktishared"
strRemotePath2 = "\shaktisoftware"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1, strRemotePath1
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter2, strRemotePath2
Wscript.Quit

That looks exactly like the mapped drive script I've got on
my domain.
i.e.:
<dim>.MapNetworkDrive <driveletter>,
<path>

Any chance there is more than one policy that calls this
script for
your users? Or, alternatively, is there any chance you've
set the
security filtering (at the GPO) to include both the
computers AND the
users? I haven't tried that myself, but with it you could
theoretically create the mapped drive at Startup and then
try and
create it again at Logon, resulting in a combination error
and working
mapped drive.  (?)

It is kind of bizarre. =]

I tired to lookup the VB command to destroy a network map...
 but i'm
to busy today sorry, but my only thought would be to execute
a command
to destroy anything that might be using that particular
drive letter,
and then have it be remade.

sort of like a net stop command in a batch file, i know
there's
something in VB that does it, just couldn't find it in the
first 5
secs of looking

So I tried that with code I found online and it gave me the
same
error.  I also tried using an if-else structure to check if
it was
assigned or not.

Thanks,
Alex

objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive strDriveLetter2

That should do it, if inserted ahead of your
MapNetworkDrive. You
would be treating the symptom though, and not the cause.

Why not just use a batch file at logon to map drives?

If you give the necessary rights to the folder, then those
that aren't
able to read/write won't be able to map to it and you won't
need
seperate mapping scripts for different OUs ..

net use <letter> <path> /persistent:no

Personally i like to run VBScripts instead of batch, because
even if
you have it set to hide the script running window, it still
shows up
sometimes... which is just ridiculous, vbscripts run
completely in the
background, users unaware of anything happening.  Also i've
had the
stupid security warnings come up sometimes when using batch
files for
startup scripts.

To me they just seem sloppy and ancient.  I agree they can
be just as
powerful and robust as VBScript, but only when an admin is
using them
directly, i don't think they have a place as startup scripts
anymore.

to each his own....the batch files are smaller in size...it
took 12
lines of code to map a drive and 2 lines of batch
scripting...

if you are only mapping drives, I think a small blip on the
user login
isn't too much of a hassle.
