Looking for Mapped Drive monitor / reconnect tool...
I have a friend with a Windows 7 Home Premium computer, with a mapped drive to another Win7 machine. About once a week, it "forgets" the password to the network share and the drive mapping ceases to function.
Both machines run 24/7. No power savings; no sleep mode, network cards are always online, etc.
I turned on a bunch of auditing options in GP and, still, the Event Log tells me nothing about why it's losing the password.
Now, I could write a startup task to re-map with net use, or even create a shortcut on his desktop to do this. But that's less graceful than I'd prefer.
What I'd really like is a utility to run in the background, monitor the drive mapping and, if it should fail, attempt to reconnect it for us. Anyone know of something like that? (Free is better, but might be worth a small fee.)
Thanks
