Network Drive Question

BloomerzUK · 3 May 2011 at 12:58

Hi Guys/Gals,

Question. I have started my new job today (yay!), and my manager asked a question about network drives.

Basically, with his and other laptops, when connected to the network, the network drives automatically map fine, which is what is needed.. but he wants to know if there is a way that when the network is offline/connected to a home network, to stop the attempted connection of mapped network drives.

I've researched to no avail. I have a feeling it will be a batch file or a network/hardware profile to be put in place, but not quite sure.

Thanks for any help,

Jake

I think you can turn off the notification saying it "cannot reconnect al network drives" however I dont think you can stop it searching for them since they are mapped and that is the whole point of mapping them.

Logon scripts don't run when you log on away from the office iirc, do you mean the "disconnected" icon in my computer?

Write a batch file that deletes all the mapped drives if he's that bothered.
