Hi all.

I work for a NHS Trust and we run Windows Server 2003 with AD. When
users log on they execute a log in script that is defined in their
profile. The user has a H drive which maps to their home directory
specified in their profile. The H drives map to
\\Server\Department\Username.

Maybe OT, but how are you specifying this in the script - is it a batch
file, and is it

net use h: \\server\department%username%
or even
net use h: /home
(presuming that the users' home directory paths are specified in their
ADUC properties) ?

I suggest adding
/persistent:no
to the end of the net use line, too. But that's probably not relevant - it
just helps keep things tidy.


When users are logging in, sometimes their H drive maps correctly, or
it maps to the parent folder (Department) instead. Its completely
random who it happens to and when it happens.

I was wondering if anyone has come accross this before or knows why
it his happening. If anyone needs more info, please let me know. All
help and advice greatfully received.

Double check the permissions that each user has to their subfolder under the
Department share.....should be either Modify or Full Control (and subfolders
under the username folder should inherit the settings therein).

Also, helps if you mention your client OS version and SP level.....and if
you have any event log errors on the client.
