Home folder redirecting problems

[Tricky_Dicky]

Help,

 

I set the homedir via Active Directory to \\server-name\Data\Home\Student\%username% and for some strange reason it has stopped mapping it. Now it only maps it to \\server-name\Data. It still applies the permissions correctly so they can only see there folder but it isn't mapped correctly.

 

Have I done something stupid or am I missing something obvious?

I've been looking at something like this and remember seeing this

 

problem with DFS after update SP2 - MSFN Forums

 

failing that take a look at

 

Error message when you try to open a mapped DFS folder after the computer comes out of standby in Windows XP Service Pack 2: "<Drive Letter>:\ is not accessible"

 

hope that helps

try this Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature it may help.

Cheers guys, but I think I've found it myself.

 

In GPO:

User Configuration -> Admin Templates -> System -> User Profiles: Connect Home directories to root of share- Set it to disable or don't configure

 

Seems to have done the trick, don't remember changing it in the first place though which is worrying.

 

I'm blaming Friday afternoon
