We have just converted workstations from xp to Win7. Users get network shares via batch scipt login scripte (ie: logon1.bat). Below is the login script.
@Echo off
CLS
@Net USE /persistent:no
@Net Use * /Delete /Y

@net use H: "\\abc-san\Users\%USERNAME%"
@net use P: "\\abc-san\Shared\Public"
@net use S: "\\abc-san\Shared"
@net use L: "\\abc-san\abc2\ABC\CONFIDENTIAL"
@net use N: "\\abc-san\abc2\ABC\FISCAL ADMINISTRATION"
@net use U: "\\abc-san\abc2\ABC"

cscript \\abc-san\shared\Public\Notices\Login\Update.vbs
Call p:\notices\advisory\advisory.bat

Only a select set of users get the L: and N: drive mappings. In XP if a user was not a member of the "ABC-Confidential" group or "ABC-Fiscal" group the login script would continue to run and just bypass trying to map a drive. In Windows 7 we have found that the login script will hang on mapping drive L: if the user is not a member of "ABC-Confidential" and on drive N: if the user is not a member of "ABC-Fiscal". Is therre a setting in Windows 7 to ignore this and just continue mapping the drives?

I would appreciate any assistance as we are currently at a loss. The person who created these scripts is long gone.

Attempts to Fix:

Installed the Win7 admin pack
Uninstalled/reinstalled all hardware drivers
Verified Active Directory DNS settings (Vista works relatively well on the same network)
Reset all TCP/IP settings on all adapters using the netsh commands to do so
Disabled ipv6 on all adapters
Disable wifi adapter while on work network
Locked the network card to 100/Full, 1000/Full; also tried Auto
Added various important addresses to hosts file (exchange, dns, ad) -- removed when didn't help
My background is a jpeg (sounds unrelated but there is apparently a win7 login bug related to solid color background)
More I have forgotten

What version of Windows Server are you running? Also what router, are you using a Managed switch? How many workstations, is this a remote office, that is connecting via VPN to another office, that the local server in the remote office, is having to talk to the other server back at the head office.

Also, how are you doing your email? Have you re-checked your GPO during the conversion?
