Win8 network drive won't stay mapped

One of our machines at work loses its connection to a mapped network drive every time it's restarted.

I can re-map it fine but am not always here to do so.
Any suggestions?
I've read a few articles about this issue but they seem older am I'm not sure if they're still relevant.

Thanks

Well, you could always create a .bat file to map it at startup :)

net use <drive letter><network path>

ie. net use F: \\server\files

In addition to the standard login script (batch file) you toss in the startup folder....add "persistent:yes" at the end of it.

net use M: \\frontmachine\datashare /persistent:yes

are you on a domain? local or domain admin rights?

this is the only thing I could find for win 8. I ran win 8 for a few month's and didnt have the issue.
