This is really starting to hurt my brain.

Our submit script checks all XP machines have a set of drives mapped. If the
drives are unavailable or not there then it maps them. In the script we also
output the command "net use" so we can see what is mapped.

However, sometimes when the mapped drives are unavailable the script can't
remap them. Because they are being mapped persistently the script is unable
to map them as net use needs user input, [Y/N] I expect. I say expect
because when we log into the user account that is running rush and run net
use there are no mapped drives shown. How can this be? What user are these
drives being mapped as? All WIN users are forced to use the same UID/GID as
the user running rush on the render nodes. We even spit out the %USERNAME%
and it matches.

Where does rush map these drives? I'm thinking of having to delete all
mapped drives and remap them at the start of each frame just to have fail
safe maps. Many users are now using UNC paths but some old scripts still use
mapped drives so we still need to keep them.

Thanks in advance.
