Windows 10: Why is Windows 10 Version 2004 preventing logon scripts from mapping NAS drives at first...

Paulo J. F. Martins · Jun 6, 2020

Since we updated Windows 10 to Version 2004 that all the machines in our domain stopped mapping NAS drives at first logon.

When the users start the machines and logon the logon script maps correctly the drives in several servers but not in the NAS.

If they logoff and logon again then the mapping is done correctly.

The problem occurs sistematically and started only after Version 2004 was installed.

It has nothing to do with SMB 1.0 being enabled - it was already enabled before Version 2004 as it was needed because we are talking about an old NAS.

Direct SMB appeared enabled and we disabled it, but it didn't solve the problem.

Mapped network drives do not connect at logon in vista with automatic logon enabled

I have vista x64 . I have some mapped network drives . They get connected when i enter the password at logon screen. Now i enabled automatic logon in vista and they do not connect anymore . I have to double click on them and enter the password manually .

Windows displays the message "Could not connect to all drives" at logon .

They used to connect automatically in xo with automatic logon enabled.

My logon password is the same as the administrator password with which i can connect to these drives .

Mapped network drives don't work in Windows 10 version 1809

Symptoms

You experience the following issues in Windows 10, version 1809:

In Windows Explorer, a red X appears on the mapped network drives.

Mapped network drives are displayed as Unavailable when you run the net use command at a command prompt.

In the notification area, a notification displays the following message:Could not reconnect all network drives.

Workaround

You can work around this issue by running scripts to automatically reconnect mapped network drive when you log on the device. To do this, create two script files, and then use one of the workarounds, as appropriate.

Scripts

Create a script file named MapDrives.cmd

The script file includes the following scripts. The file should be run at a regular (non-elevated) command prompt:

PowerShell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser Unrestricted" >> "%TEMP%\StartupLog.txt" 2>&1
PowerShell -File "%SystemDrive%\Scripts\MapDrives.ps1" >> "%TEMP%\StartupLog.txt" 2>&1

Create a script file named MapDrives.ps1

The script file includes the following scripts. The file should be run at a regular (non-elevated) command prompt:

$i=3
while($True){
$error.clear()
$MappedDrives = Get-SmbMapping |where -property Status -Value Unavailable -EQ | select LocalPath,RemotePath
foreach( $MappedDrive in $MappedDrives)
{
try {
New-SmbMapping -LocalPath $MappedDrive.LocalPath -RemotePath $MappedDrive.RemotePath -Persistent $True
} catch {
Write-Host "There was an error mapping $MappedDrive.RemotePath to $MappedDrive.LocalPath"
}
}
$i = $i - 1
if($error.Count -eq 0 -Or $i -eq 0) {break}
Start-Sleep -Seconds 30
}

Workarounds

Workaround 1: Create a startup item

Note This workaround works only for the device that has network access at logon. If the device has not established a network connection by the time of logon, the startup script won't automatically reconnect network drives.

Copy the script file (MapDrives.cmd) to the following location:

%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Copy the script file (MapDrives.ps1) to the following location:

%SystemDrive%\Scripts\

A log file (StartupLog.txt) will be created in the %TEMP%\ folder.

Log off, and then log back on to the device to open the mapped drives.

Workaround 2: Create a scheduled task

Copy the script file MapDrives.ps1 to the following location:

%SystemDrive%\Scripts\

In Task Scheduler, select Action > Create Task.

On the General tab in the Create Task dialog box, type a name (such as Map Network Drives) and description for the task.

Select Change User or Group, select a local user or group (such as LocalComputer\Users), and then select OK.

Select the Run with highest privileges option.

On the Triggers tab, select New, and then select At log on for the Begin the task field.

On the Actions tab, select New, and then select Start a program for the Action field.

Type Powershell.exe for the Program/script field.

In the Add arguments (optional) field, type the following:
-windowsstyle hidden -command .\MapDrives.ps1 >> %TEMP%\StartupLog.txt 2>&1

In the Start in (optional) field, type the location (%SystemDrive%\Scripts\) of the script file.

On the Conditions tab, select the Start only if the following network connection is available option, select Any connection, and then select OK.

Log off, and then log back on to the device to run the scheduled task.

Workaround 3: Group Policy settings

If the mapped drives are defined through the Group Policy settings, update the action of the drive maps to Replace. This will delete the existing mapped drive and create the mapping again on each logon. Any settings on the mapped drive that are changed from the Group Policy settings will be lost on each logon. You may also have to run the gpupdate command (together with the /force parameter) to update the Group Policy settings.
