Appologies if this appaears somewhere else but I've spent some time searching and couldn't find it.
At my office I have and NAS which I mirror to a USB harddrive using synchronisation software on a specific PC. The NAS is mapped as a network drive and everything works ok unless the PC is rebooted. When rebooted the synchronisation starts but is unable to access the mapped drive. Outlook cannot access a personal folder stored on the NAS, neither can any other application (or boot up script), until I have manually touched the folder using explorer. That's all I have to do.
It's not a big problem in this case, though its a hassle and it shouldn't happen, but I have two PCs set up for a client. These PCs are a redundant pair controlling a machine. One is duty and data is logged by both machines to a shared folder which is mapped to a drive letter. It appears that the same thing is happening here. In this case it is unacceptable.
Any ideas? Would mapping the drive using a start up script work any better?
