Not possible.  You want to map the same drive letter to separate shares.
Ain't gonna happen.  Make life a whole lot easier and just leave it at two
separate drive mappings.  I already gave you info to make this a lot easier
for you.  That's the best you can do.  You are making this harder than it
really is.  If your users are complaining about having more than one mapped
drive, tell them to suck it up.

Subject: RE: Organizing users data on the file server


I was thinking the same thing also since I am having difficulties to make
DFS do what I want.  Basically on my server (One file server), in the root
directory, I have two folders Users and Departments. Under the Users folder,
I have my users folders (jdoe, rkevin, jchappo, kgordon etc..). Under the
Department folder, I have the departments folders (IT, HR, Sales etc...).
What I would like to accomplish is to use one map drive on each client
machine to connect to their private folder as well as their department
folder. Example: jdoe will have his X: drive mapped to both (jdoe folder,
and IT folder).  rkevin will also have his X: drive mapped to (rkevin
folder, and Sales folder).  jchappo will have his X: drive mapped to
(jchappo folder, and IT folder) etc... So each user will click on the drive
X: and see two folders: their private folder and their department folder. By
doing this, users only see their private folder and their department folder.
They do not see any other folder that does not belong them.  Also they only
use one mapped drive that has two sub-folders: their private folder and
their department folder. Will you please share with me how you have it
configure in your own environment.  This is my first file server that I am
configuring, may be I do not have to do it this way. Thank you your
suggestions.
