We're currently facing an issue where at some point between 12am & 5am every night all drive letters that weren't in use become mapped* and show up as disconnected on a Server 2008 R2 Terminal server.
We're unable to remove these mapped drives via the GUI or by command line using NET USE /delete and the only way for them to be removed is a restart. I've enabled object auditing for mapped drives to see if we can work out what's creating these but need to wait until tomorrow to check the logs.
We've ruled out GPOs & are ruling out scheduled tasks that are active in that time window by disabling them tonight (These have implications for LOB apps so we're unable to just run these).
Assuming we rule out the scheduled tasks tonight and all drives get mapped, anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this?
******The notes I've been given don't indicate where these mapped drives are pointing, will update tomorrow with the path (if any).*

Try this:
Remove all Network drives and reboot the server. That worked for me.
