There are no spaces in our actual path name. They are all XP sp3 workstations.
And we log off and back on and it is fine, but may be back incorrect the next time. Just totally random so far it seems. >>> Scott Oyer <soyer38...@gmail.com> 9/21/2010 2:40 PM >>> bypass traverse checking??

The student has no rights to the \users directory, just his own, so he can't get anywhere. Seems to be entirely random, and logging off and logging back in restores access to his drive. Saw it happen yesterday. Student home drive was set to \\server\users ( file://server/users ), so he couldn't open or save. Logged the student off, logged in as me, looked carefully at the rights to that student's folder, looked at the user's object in ADUC to make sure his mapping was set correctly (it was). Logged myself out, logged him back in, drive was mapped correctly. -Eric On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 2:13 PM, Sullivan, Terence <sulliv...@shiloh1.us> wrote: I have been fighting this for two years and do not think I have solved yet. The issue is they are “random” and some days they map all the way to their personal home folder and the next login a user will map to the root shared folder with all the other user folders in it. When I search on the issue I find lots of network admins have experienced the problem. Mine started when I moved home folders from one server to bigger drive on the network. I have manually gone through and set security permissions on every folder – but that did not help I may be making some progress when I changed my logon GPO to “wait for network connection” on login. I am not sure I have it solved yet. OH – my experience is Win 2003 domain since I have no 2008 servers at this time.

I am mapping the user home directories under profile (\server\teacher directory\teacher home). For some teachers this mapping works fine, but for some other teachers the mapping maps a level up. So some go directly to their home drive, but the others go to the teacher directory. The teachers were created using the same template. Any ideas what could be causing this, or what could fix it?
