I had this happen to me when I first started here.  The issue here ended
up being two separate GPOs, trying to map the same drive letter to
different levels.  One to the \\server\users, and one to
\\servers\users\myhomedrive.  Check your GPOs to make sure this isn't
your case...

I'd be very interested if you find a solution to this.  I had the same
problem a while back - never found the solution or the reason it was
happening - it just went away by itself so I called it another
'undocumented Microsoft feature'.

        For as long as I remember, I have populated the drive letter and
network path for the Home Folder attribute in AD.  We also perform this
mapping in the logon script, which is at least partially redundant.  We
have been having a problem with this drive letter mapping to the top
level of the share, instead of all the way to the user's folder.  In
researching the issue, I have found reports of this being a bug (e.g.
http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-nt-2000-2003-s
erver/145050-home-folder-active-directory.html).
        
        Since we are already setup to do this in the logon script, I
would like to remove the attribute from AD.  To make sure that there are
no unintended consequences, I tried to research whether this attribute
might control/do something other than just the drive letter.  I found
something indicating it affected an environment variable, but it didn't
sound like anything that would cause a problem.  Unfortunately, my
google-fu is weak and I haven't been able to find enough info to
discount the possibility that it will create a (new/different) problem.
        
        Can anyone confirm if this attribute does anything other than a
drive letter mapping?  Any other impact from changing the selection to
"local path" and leaving that blank?
