Randon Drive Mapping Issues not Mapping to Full Path
Hello,
I have a customer with a weird drive mapping issue occuring on their 2008 domain. Their home drive seems to be the main problem. We are mapping the H drive in AD Users and Computers/userobject/profi
\\servername\public\user\u
Here is the problem,
some times the H drive maps properly to the correct location \\servername\public\user\u
but most times it only maps the H drive to
\\servername\public\
The issue seems to be completely random. I can reboot 5 times and 3 out of the 5 times the mapping will be pointing to the wrong location.
I made a couple group policy changes to enable "Run logon script synchronously" and "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" per a couple KB articles I read.

This made no difference in the behavior.
Any ideas on this on what could be causing this issue? Please let me know if you need more information.

Hey CT,
I tried that. I zapped the local profile, even tried disjoining and rejoing PCs to the domain and signing on as new user accounts. The same issue persists.
One thing I did not mention this drive mapping is to a DFS share and I am thinking there is something wrong with DFS or DNS.
The DFS share \\dfsshare\public\users\ is composed of two servers
\\server1\users
and
\\server2\users
I can map to \\server1\users\username and \\server2\users\username and everything works fine.
I am just having the random incorrect mapping when mapping to the DFS share name.
Thanks again for the help.

Are you using %username% or are you actually typing in the username for each script? Or are you mapping through AD?
