Mandatory profile + mapped drives issue

[Patrick]

Hi all,

 

We are using a basic mandatory profile i acquired from a user on this board and all has been working fine. But suddenly, users that are using the Man profile are not getting the mapped drives. They just don't show up in my computer. Roaming profiles are working fine however. Has anyone come across this before? Driving me mad!

Permissions changed somewhere, either Share or Security???

Not that i can see! The man profile folder is shared to the correct groups with full control!

Can let us know list the version of Windows you are having issues with??

Just so no one falls into the same pit fall as me, here's a summary of whats wrong:

 

*Mandatory profile folder inherited a "everyone" read/write setting thanks to my co-workers mistake

*mixed environment of 32bit/64bit

*mixed environment all writing to same profile due to wrong security settings

 

The profile was being continuously written too and changed and eventually because corrupt i believe. I've rebuilt the profile, set the appropriate privileges (read only) and all is well on the 64bit machines. However, the man profile doesn't sit well with the 32bit machines, most of it doesn't apply. Assuming this is due to the differences in 32bit/64bit registry setup. According to:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2384951

It isn't supported or a good idea to use both OS's with same profile. We only have a few 32bit machines left so i'll probably just image them up to 64bit.

 

Thanks for all the help.
