Windows Server 2008 GPO Not Mapping Drives?

-3

I have 2 servers.

Server 1:

Linux server running Samba, that has a share called "Common".

Server 2:

Windows Server 2008. I created a GPO that maps drive R: to \\LINUXSERVER\Common. I set it to "Reconnect" and chose the "Create" option. I then run gpupdate /force. The client computer, after I log off and then logged back on, does not have the drive map show up. Why is this?

As per request, I attempted to post GPResult, but due to a 30000 character limitation, I was unable to post all of it in this box. However, I posted the most relevant part. Is there another way to post the entire GPResult?

GPP Drive Mappings apply to User objects, not Computer objects. You need to link the drive mapping GPO to the OU where your User objects are OR you need to configure Loopback Policy Processing on the GPO linked to the OU where the Computer objects are.
