Unable to connect to Home Folder in users profile
Hello,
I'm working with a Server 2008 R2 environment.
From the Profile tab of a user account, under Home folder | Connect: I select the U: drive and enter \\servername\Shares\Users\
Windows XP Systems work fine
Checked security on C:\Shares\Users
Athenticated Users Full Control
System Full Control
Administrator Full Control
Administrators Full Control
Checked group policy :
user config->policies->admin templates->system->user profiles->connect home directory to root of share is disabled

Toxacon
So I assume that sharename for c:\shares\users is SHARES?
ASKER
Yes Toxacon;
The sharename for c:\shares\users is shares.
Users logging on with Windows XP Systems map just fine. It's Windows 7 users that have a problem.

So the is a path
c:\shares\users\users\<use
?
c:\shares\users\users\<use
?
ASKER
We're getting all twisted on the path naming instead of focusing on the problem.
There were three clues in my original post:
(1) The share path \\servername\Shares\Users
(2) Checked security on C:\Shares\Users
(3) Windows XP workstations work fine with the Home Path setting.
So, a Windows XP user by the name of wcoyote gets a mapped drive to \\servername\Shares\Users\
Windows 7, no mapping happens.

So can you do a manual mapping of U: to
\\servername\Shares\Users\
from a Win7?
\\servername\Shares\Users\

YES! Pop! fast as you can blink. Full rights also.

Try the following:
Share the c:\shares\users\users as Users. Modify the U drive to map to \\servername\users\%userna
Share the c:\shares\users\users as Users. Modify the U drive to map to \\servername\users\%userna
ASKER
Sharing the c:\shares\users\users as Users, and modifying the U drive to map to \\servername\users\%userna
I think we've used up any possible naming and mapping convention errors.
I'm thinking this may be something regarding a difference in how WinXP and Win 7 implement the AD profile mapping during domain logon, or some rights/permissions/ownersh

The problem is really weird. What does the RSOP Planning say about the computer/user? Is there anything that relates to this?
Has the ADUC created the home folder or has it been set up manually?

I've never used RSOP and do not underatand how it works.
ADUC creates the user folder just fine. I never noticed any problems until I tried deploying these first Windows Prof 7 workstations.
