Home drives not mapping and sometimes being empty

[thepridster]

Hi,

 

Hope you can help for the past two days I've been having issues with my schools home drive mapping and the folder redirect seemingly not working if it was mapped. this is not the same for every student as some have their home drive mapped and some even have their work in it but at least 50% of most of the students either have no home drive mapped or it is empty I suspect folder redirection isn't working correctly but as I'm unfamiliar with how the network manager has set it up and he is absent. I'm not sure how to fix the issue. I also know very little about folder redirection and what to look for I've tried delprofing and forcing group policy update which is hit and miss occasionally people who did have the drive mapped and have work in the drive then lose it. I've also looked through ad. HELP!!

first 3 things to do...

 

1, Manually make sure the pcs in question can actually get to the location.

2, Have a check through the event viewer for errors relating to folder redirection.

3, Do a policy results wizard in the GPO console for a PC and user in question and see if there are errors there.

 

Folder redirection doesn't really have many variables and errors are almost always something actually not there, wrong permissions or a network condition causing problems.
