Some users home drive not mapping through GPO / preferences
Hello all :)
I have moved our network drive mapping from AD-based login scripts to GPO preferences (server 2012 environment)
Most of these are working fine BUT a few users are not seeing their H: (home) drive anymore.
The mapping is simply \\fileserver\%username% - set to "replace"
This is exactly what was in all the login scripts.
The other drive mappings are fine and only a few users are having this home drive issue
what could be causing this not to work for them when a simple .bat file login script works fine?
thanks
Tracy

hmmm, cant see anything in particular. In win 7 which log would I look in? system or security?
I believe it is under applicaton and system.

according to the error, it is "0x80070035 The network path was not found.'
check the path and make sure that is correct. is it a DFS root or just UNC shared path?
is it FQDN? or NetBIOS?

shared UNC. not FQDN
can you ping the short name from the issue machine?
do you have any dns suffix defined?
try to add the dns suffix on to the target computer.

If I type the unc path from that machine it opens the users folder
