Windows 2003 - User Drives NOT mapping consistently, help!

[Zoplax]

Hello, just recently set up a Windows 2003 server running AD.

I set up each user so that they map their U: drive to a share on the server, \\<servername>\users\<username>, for example, \\myserver\users\zoplax.

However, often when the users log on, the U: drive maps to just \\myserver\users instead, not the full path.

Why is this happening? Is this a bug in Windows 2003 or is there something in AD I need to check?

The client workstations are Windows XP Professional with the latest updates.

Thanks in advance for any help!

assuming you enabled sharing on each user, this is the way surppose is.

Thanks Robert; I worked around this by removing the home drive mapping option in the Profile tab; instead I'm using a vbscript-based logon script through a group policy.
