Home Folder Mapping

[tduffybw]

I'm having trouble with users home folder mapings

users profile tab is configured like this



home folder: h: to \\servercluster\share\username
it seems as some users are not able to map it correctly, they
map it as \\servercluster\share

If I run gpupdate \force and log off the user and log it back on it maps
correctly until the next reboot.
I found out that those settings are stored in this registry key:
HK_Users\S-1-5-21-...\Volatile Enviroment

Users that map the home folder right have those settings
Homedrive: h:
Homepath: \
Homeshare: \\servercluster\share\username

But those that don't map the folder right hafe those settings
Homedrive: h:
Homepath: \username
Homeshare: \\servercluster\share\

If I change the registry settings the user maps the home
folder until next boot


This is only happening to our windows xp clients and not windows 2000 pro clients.

Has anyone had similar issues?

i remember with 9x clients they couldn't map drives that went deeper than the UNC \\server\share
maybe the same thing is happening here?

you might have to share individual user folders, but google around first beforehand!

With windows 2000/xp clients that is not the case.
