Sort of :) I understand that there isn't the handing over of user privileges
to other users on windows, I just wanted to know under which account the
drives are being mapped.  Know rush says they are being mapped as netrender
(in our case) but I have logged in as that user and there are no mapped
drives in that account. Logging in as local administrator and also domain
admin doesn't show them either. It's just got me puzzled, and it's not a big
deal, we have just set the script to delete them and remap them when it
finds a stale/broken map which is working fine.
