We have both. My Documents is redirected to the same exact location as their F: drive. Redundant, but it's what they're used to...

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. -- Mike Gill From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 3:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Group policy question Is there a benefit to mapping home directories through the Profile tab, or is a login script just as good? I've always thought it was best practice to have the home directory mapped through ADUC, but am I wrong?

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.
