On-demand GlobalProtect and Mapped drives

[GeorgiosFakis]

Hello all ,

Having issues with some users where they have mapped drives but after they connect to global protect they don't work.

If they unmap and they map again it works .

When doesn't work after connecting to globalprotect if they ping the IP of the server that they have the mapped drive it works but SMB it doesn't .

We have on-demand globalprotect, SSO disabled of course and we allow netbios, SMB and I don't see any blocked traffic.

I have tried to search that and I don't want to say to the customer to fix that with scripts net use because all users are using their own shared folders.

@Jason.Holcomb would you mind posting the content of that .vbs-file, or at least describe what you meant with "that will pull the home drive mapping info from AD".

I think we might need to do something similar.

[Jason.Holcomb]

We have file called Map_Home_Drive.vbs which is installed on all the machines that the registry points to. In AD we have the home drive mapped (I am not the AD admin so I am not sure which field they populated but I know the drive is mapped in there)
