We've traditionally had Widows users mount AFS drives by mapping to a drive letter using the Net Use command. Recently we've begun experimenting with instead using UNC paths to create a connection in "My Network Places."

In testing this a couple of our staff have run into a problem where they have to manually refresh Windows explorer to see updates to the AFS directory. This only occurs for them when both of the following are true:

* They're using the UNC path to access the directory
* They're logged into our Windows domain

If they log directly into the local machine, the problem does not occur. If they log into the domain, but map the directory to a drive letter it doesn't occur.

This is using OpenAFS for Windows 1.5.10.

Any thoughts?
