honestly, i am not entirely clear on what is going on. the client acts as if
it is logging on fine at first. it retrieves its policies from the server
fine, and gets its logon script fine. the specific problems i am having are
that in that logon script i map three drives, and in one of my default domain
policy i redirect the my documents folder. the path for one of the drives
that gets mapped and the path to the redirected my documents are identical.
that particular drive shows as disconnected, while the other two drives are
connected fine. when the computer goes to synchronize offline files, it asks
for a user name and password, stating that the user name provided was
unsuccessful in logging on. if i use any other legitimate user name and
password, it is still unsuccessful, giving me an error saying "errors occured
while windows was synchronizing your data. offline files (\\server\sharename
on lloyd): Unable to connect to \\server\sharename. multiple connections to
a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name
are not allowed. disconnec all previous connections to the server or shared
resource and try again".
if i log on to the computer as a local user, and simply browse to the share,
i can connect to it with the same user name that failed above, so i am kind
of lost as to what to do.
