I have a .bat file which is to map network drive, and tested it with no problem under win xp Then I try to put that as "startup script" under GPO (which is managed by 2k8 AD) -> Computer -> Policies -> Windows. After restarting computer, the script should be executed (I checked gpresult and the script is there), but the drive is not mounted. Any one have idea on what's happening ? | ||||

You should be using You are mapping the the drive using the 'computer user account' rather than the users own account. Edit: You could also use the new Group Policy Preferences in 2K8 to map a drive ( make sure you have the Group Policy Client Side Extensions installed on the machines you want apply the policy to) | |||||

If it's running as a startup script the computer account will need permissions to the network share, which I'm guessing it doesn't have. You need to set it as a logon script instead unless the former is your desired behaviour. | |||

This site has a decent list of working logon scripts and bruteforce logon scripts that could help you out, there is also further detail on how to implement them through gpo. Logon Scripts Site | |||

Go to this site For mapping Network Drives using VB Script. : http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/Logon%5FHomeDir.htm This helps if you have to use User Authentication aswell. And it seems you have a user Permission issue, so this should help you out. I had the same problem a while back and got hold of that site(Will not let that site go either). | |||
