If I understand you correctly, mapping the drive works as administrator & not as the user. If that's the case, it's a permissions problem. Give the users permissions to the mapped drive on the server. Map the drive once & it should stay mapped. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

mooninboy you need to be working with the folks in Germany not winging it here. Once you join their forest/domain Germany support can help set everything up for you.
