I have a lab setup for the middle school kids at the club I work for, and while those machines are older, they do have a fresh install of Windows 10. They all have a mapped drive to save their work. I'll verify they are not having issues, but I'm pretty sure that has been working for months now.

Maybe try replacing the NIC drivers. I have run into a number of issues with Windows 10 removing the factory drivers and installing the MS versions.

UAC disabled, users are local admins.

Ever since Windows 8/Windows 2012 UAC is never really disabled until you disable it in the registry.
Keep in mind, completely disabling UAC means Microsoft Store and Native Windows 10 apps stop functioning.
 Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

I actually found that when building hte image Arend, I have tried the registry version of disabling UAC, and just dragging it to the bottom of the slider, no luck each way.

I had tried a different NIC driver, still no luck.

The only thing that confuses me more, is it works if I open command prompt and type out what kix is doing...

net use S: \\e500srv2\share

that works, every time, but kix cannot seem to map it on its own, thinks its mapped still.

This is why you should try my script - it doesn't use native Kix mapping methods, so it may get through and identify the issue.

Is the kixtart executable located on the network or do you a local copy that you are executing?

The only thing I can still think of is enabling Linked Connections:
 Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLinkedConnections"=dword:00000001

Reboot after this.

Oh, but the registry hack wasn't supposedly needed...

Allen?

Personally I believe this to be the most likely solution

I don't use it at all, especially since MS openly says it's not supported. It might fix his problem but opens the doors to others.

They have said its not supported since vista. Them idiots said logonscripts are not supported. So what? You still use kixtart? Even when it was included in reskit, there was a disclaimer of it being unsupported.

Microsoft support has always been a joke any ways and bears no meaning what so ever.

The point is not to ask for the non-existing support but to make the product we paid for work as promised in the first place.

Microsoft doesn't support anything in the Resource Kits, officially, because they don't perform any security testing on the components, nor do they provide any ongoing updates even if security issues are identified.

Clearly, that's not the exact case with Kixtart, as Ruud has been supporting and updating this since the original release.

As for the reg hack, I've never deployed it at any customer site, nor have I deployed it internally. I've never had issues reported with drive mappings, and my script has been deployed at several large schools as well as several global organizations (the largest having nearly 30,000 users). While I can't attest that admins at sites where the script is in use but I don't support haven't deployed the reg-hack, I'd expect that they would have first reported a failure of the script to map drives, and that has not happened.

Logonscripts are not supported? I need to look into that.

Regardless, I'm doing nothing out of the ordinary to map drives. I'm doing the same thing I did 16 years ago when Windows 2000 was out.

Apparently it was still a problem in Windows 8.1 so I supposed it still applies to Windows 10.
Besides, I personally think this is exactly what is going on, and if this registry change fixes his problem then he knows where to look.

Where is your file exactly? I tried looking on your site, didn't see it anywhere obvious.

local and on network, I have been trying both methods.

So are we, this log on script was here before me, which was 2006ish. But Windows 10 is having issues.

http://www.innotechcg.com - products tab, Universal Login Script is second menu item on left.
You'll need to register to download - I only use the email to notify of bug fixes and major updates.

well [censored], I think I fixed it. I was looking through differences of those that were always working and those that were sporadic. The kix32.exe file was set to compatibility mode run as admin on those that were NOT working. I unchecked that and it started working, so hopefully that was it.

So it was the admin token vs. User token! Hah.

Wonder why linked connections didn't fix it then...
