I am aware, The file on the server is shared to every one full

tested this, So I do not have them on the root of the folder. Only
their name on their home directory inside that file along with
administrators of course. In there user profile each student is set
with a z: drive with \\server\student\%username%
When it works properly the drivie maps perfectly to their home
directory. When is fails it maps to the root file students. I can
have them map the drive and it will map correctly but this is hard
for younger students.
This is a very common problem. The fix is to enable "Always Wait for Network
at Computer Startup and Logon" for all the desktops/client computers via
group policy.

Hello GJarvie756,
I hope you are aware that home directory and profile path are two
different things.
How are you mapping the users profile? You can do this through user's
account properties under profile and enter the full path in the
profile path. Make sure you set proper permissions on the root share
"students" atleast authenticated users should have a "Read &
Execute", List folder contents", Read. and by default in the
%username% folder, only user and administrator and system have full
control . remove everyone else listed here.

I have posted this question a few times and lots of responses with
the same problem. I am using 2003 R2 Server with Active Directory.
When I set up the
students and staff when I create their profile and Active directory
I map their home directory \\servername\students\%username% in the
active directory profile.
When I do this each day I have students and staff that are unable to
access
their home directory because it maps to the root of the student
folder instead of their home folder that is inside of that folder!
If I did not mind
that students see the other students folders I could add read
privleges then
they could browse to their folder but then cheating begins. I know
I can map
the drive to
regain the drive, I can have them log off and back on and the will
sometimes
get their home directory back, but they should not have to do this
all the time! It is growing very frustrating when they lose their
data because of this. Does anyone out there have the Cure for this
problem? I have event tried login scripts with
the same results! Looking at all the hits I get each time I post
this issue
it is a problem! We have a K-12 School so it is very hard to tell a
7 year old how to map a drive! It should just be there for them.
