Reply: I'm trying to find a document i had which might help. It had the command you need to put in the batch file whereby it first deleted any R drive first and then created the R drive you want to specify. I know R is not a common drive letter but if the user has already manually mapped R to some share, your R is being ignored. If i can find the command i'll send it on. i think it was one of the Net commands.
