Mapped Drives not Reconnecting at Login of LAN

I know this has been discussed a few times, but the solutions provided in the article haven't provided a solution.

Environment:
AD: Windows 2019 Server
File Server: Windows 2012
User Device: Windows 10
VPN: Windows built in VPN Connection to a Meraki mx250

I have several users that work both from the office and from home. When the user takes their Windows 10 device home, the mapped drives are not being added during login. I realize the policy is running at login, which is before the user connects to the VPN.

The GPO is assigned to an OU, and is set to reconnect.

The GPO has "Authenticated Users" and "Domain Computers" added to the delegation tab, with "Read" permissions enabled.

What am I missing? Has anyone figured out how to address this?

    Hi,

    For the GPO part:
    Based on my understanding , it is a user configuration , the GPO should be linked to the OU containing users.
    The GPO has "Authenticated Users" with ""read" and "apply policy " permission.
    If with only the read permission , the GPO would not apply to the users.

    If you want to connect to VPN before login , you need to Windows 10 Always On VPN device tunnel correctly. For more details about the network part, i would recommend you create a new case with a tag :windows-10-network.

    Best Regards,
