I have written a batch file(which is in the startup folder) to connect mapped drives on our 2003 server. It appears that the batch file is running before the PC is connected to the network as no drives are mapped. If I manually run the batch file once the PC has booted up all drives are mapped. Any ideas?
I have turned all firewalls off. Server and PC are in the same workgroup.

Have you checked in security policy to run scripts?
I think it is denied by default on Server 2003.

put the scripts in the active directiry sys vol folder that will allow you to map drive to any user on the network but you have to put the name of the batch file in the user profile so it knows what file to run when you log in with that user
