I've got a user in the field out of our AU office. We have a SonicWall SSL VPN to which he connects.
We map a drive for him to the DFS share (\\example.com\au\share) via GPO, but it doesn't work well while he's in the field. While in the field, if he opens a command prompt, and does a 'gpupdate /force', the drive mapping works for a while, then he says it disconnects after about an hour or so. When he's in the office, it's solid. While in the field, if he maps another drive letter to \\machine\share that works either in or out of the office. I've not seen anything in particular in the event logs that seems relevant, but I'm going to look again when he's free. Has anyone seen behavior like this, and can point me in the general direction of an answer? I understand that drive mappings via GPO over a VPN connection are problematic, because the GPO is applied at login, and before VPN connection is made, but the fact that it fails after a 'gpupdate /force' is truly weird.
