I prefer to use Folder Redirection through group policy and redirect users My Document's folder to a UNC path on the server. One less drive letter to throw at a user and they can use the My Doc's folder naturally without having to think about saving stuff to a drive letter.

I'm having an issue with some people getting their personal home drives mapped. When I started here, this was done with a login script to a manually created, shared folder. I've always believed that if the tool is provided, you should use it, so I would like these drives mapped through ADUC, using the Profile tab. However, when I do this, the user will intermittently not have their home drive mapped at all. I haven't changed all users over to the new way, as I need to unshared their home directory, copy the current contents to a temp location, delete the current folder and allow AD to recreate it with the proper rights. But I have been doing this for all the new employees. It just so happens that these new employees are the ones with the issues, so I would like to exclude them from the GPO that does the old login script, to see if the problem goes away.
