Sorry for not responding but we had some other issues going on that needed
immediate attention.
Not all users are connecting over a WAN link. I have also moved a share
(same setup) to another server (W2k3 not R2) and have the same situation.

Are the users that are having problems the ones connecting over a WAN?.

Thanks for the help.
I have approx. 7500 user folders in the parent folder. I have created test
accounts which I have deleted and recreated. Same result. Two of the four
sites are showing issues connecting to the mapped user folder.
BTW: all users currently are connecting via WAN links from all 4 sites to
a
server on the main site.
The server in question is running 2003 R2 and auto quotas are being
applied
to each user folder.
Have been looking at KB898060 and installed the fix but did not see any
difference.

Did you try to delete the folder and allow Windows to recreate?

All folders are unique. I have verified this. The folder is connecting
when
typing the UNC path into RUN.
Am currently checking DC replication as well.

Greetings,
Typically it's due to the folder already being on the drive but in a
different format then the server is looking for. An example is this:
Lets say you have a user that has a profile called BobB. In your
\\server\folder you have a folder for Bob with all the current
permissions
set called bobb. When you use %username% the server will look for a
folder
called BobB, since bobb does not follow the capitalization scheme of
BobB,
the server will not find the folder. When it tries to create the
folder
it
will not be able to since the folder already exist. So instead it goes
as
far as it knows how and maps Bob to \\server\folder.
There are two ways you can fix this type of problem. Either manually
finish
his home directory link to \\server\folder\bobb or deleted the bobb
folder
(make sure you are not deleting any important information inside the
folder)
and let Windows re-create the folder by using the
\\server\folder\%username%
command again.
Hope this helps,

Situation:
AD network, Server 2003
client - windows xpsp2
User accounts have home path mapped (profile tab, user account).
Four
sites,
two sites the user is able to see the drive mapped to
\\server\folder\%username%. When logging on to computers in two
other
sites,
they only see the drive mapped to the parent folder (i.e.
\\server\folder).
The users have traverse folder rights to the parent folder and full
access
to
their user folder.
What could be the prevent the mapped drive not completing the path?
