Thanks for the reply.

It is a batch file we run. We have the persistent:no line in the
script at the start and we map the H drive using Net Use H: /home.

Meaning,

net use h: /home /persistent:no
?

The H drive in then specified in ADUC as
\\server\department\%username%



Hope this helps.

I've seen this happen when NTFS permissions on the user's folder weren't set
up properly - I like Administrators & System = full control, user = modify,
for each of the folders - double check, and push the settings down through
all child folders.

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.
