Hi MSBob,

The answer is no. GPP drive mappings only occurs during foreground processing (at user logon). This is done to prevent a drive mapping from being remove out from under the user or an application during the Group Policy refresh. I've always encouraged customers to establish the VPN before the user logon. This allows Group Policy to locate a domain controller and apply normally.

If a user logs on via VPN or WiFi will the Group Policy apply the drive mappings via the 90 minute GPO refresh?

Are there any plans to support XP SP3? I would love to use Group Policy Preferences but we can't because all of our workstations have SP3 and it still isn't supported. Any ideas when it might?

Thanks!

Mike

Would've loved to see this is part of XP SP3 / Vista SP1.

But beggars can't be choosers, so this is better than nothing ;)
