Drive Map GP not applying on some machines, no error

Good Morning,

I have an issue that I can not seem to find a cause for. Drives will map on some machines but not others. Users are in identical groups and there are no differences. Here is the config:

I have an OU called "Active Users", in this OU there is a drive map policy called "User Drive". The policy does the following:

Drive Map Drive: Y

Y: Order 1

Action: Delete

Letter: Y

Delete all starting at specified drive: Disabled

Hide Show All: No Change

Stop processing items on this extension if an error occurs on this item: No

Run in logged-on user's security context (user policy option): No

Apply once and do not reapply: No

Drive Map Drive: Y

Y: Order 2

Action: Replace

Letter: Y

Location"\Server\Share\

Reconnect: Enabled

Use First Available: Disabled

Hide/Show Drive: Show

Hide Show All: No Change

Stop processing items on this extension if an error occurs on this item: No

Run in logged-on user's security context (user policy option): No

Remove this item when it is no longer applied: No

Apply once and do not reapply: No

When running "gpupdate /force" I get not errors. When running "gpresult /r" it shows the policy was applied successfully. Domain replication has been verified working as expected. I have manually checked all the policies on each DC's SYSVOL.

I have tried the following:

-Checking replication (working as expected)

-Checking for errors in Event Viewer (none found, says everything working as expected)

-Changed "update" in the GPO to "create" (no change)

-Changed "update" in the GPO to "replace" (no change)

-Before any changes to the GPO I manually verified the changes were reflected in each DCs SYSVOL.

-Restarted Client Machines.

-Checked for existing maps. (none found).

I am at a loss to see what the problem could be or why certain users have no issues. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
