Hi,

I have this problem on my MAC OSX Server. Basically I have mounted the Windows drives on both the desktop and dock, and if the Windows server crashes for whatever reason, I loose the mounts and need to manually reconnect again. The problem with this, is that it often crashes at night when my backup is running and hence it cannot access the drives.

Is there an applescript or something similar that will allow MAC OSX to auto re-mount the drives, or check that the drive is mounted every xx minutes?

Many thanks!

It seems like it would make more sense to treat the problem, not the symptom. Why don't you fix the Windows computer from crashing?
