I've been running Win 7 now for a couple of weeks and have had no serious problems. The one thing I have been seeing has been with our domain group policies. We are running a 2003 domain and have set group policy to map drives on boot up and warn users when that their password is about to...

Hello all: I've found several others having the same problem as I on this and other forums but no answer yet. I have a home network that includes an XP-based home server of sorts. I hang my Drobo off that server and share it to my home Network. On all my other PC's I access it as my "N" drive...
