Re: Active Directory Home Folders

Are the clients running NT workstation? NT only alows mapped drives to
root folders in a share, in this case, the root users folder. In your
script you could use the old subst command and try mapping it that way.
This works for NT as well.

If not NT, make sure your login script is trying to map to the
%username% variable. This maps the username at login to the
corresponding users folder (if it exists). For example,
NET USE H: \\<server>\<users>\%username%. You can also do the same in
the users profile in AD by choosing a drive letter and typing in the
same path with the %username% variable.

Shares of mapped drives do exists. The same login script applies to everyone
on campus but the problem only happens to a handful of people. But I will
look at the script to be sure.

a mistake in loginscript ? do shares of mapped drives exist ?

I worded this wrong. User can access their folder by browsing to it once
it's mapped to the directory where all the home folders are located. The
problem is, that the mapping does not map them directly to their home folder.

Does anyone have a solution to why some users cannot access their home
directories. For whatever reason, it only maps to the directory where all
the home directories are located. This problem is sporadic for only a
handful of users. So it's somewhat strange on why it happens to only a
few
and not others.
