Title: Home directories issue

It’s all AD on 2k3 with XP Pro clients, connecting to a real share (both by IP and NetBIOS to ensure name resolution isn’t an issue.  No DFS.

%USERNAME% won’t help, as it is translated “on the fly” to the user’s name the moment you use it, so it ends up joe.user anyway.

Are your users having the problem using W2K or later, I assume?  (if not, there’s your answer)  And you ARE using a “real” share, not a DFS root share, right?

I have experienced this same problem.  Usually logging off and logging on fixes it.  I need to find a better answer.  I’ll try the %USERNAME% variable like someone else suggested.

Hoping someone has seen this problem before.

Users are mapping home folders using AD profile tab which maps X: to \\servername\home\joe.user.   Occasionally, upon logon, users will map to \\servername\home and not all the way to their own home directory. I’ve seen several blogs and the same problem posted elsewhere but no cause or solution. 

 

Thanks
