AD mapped H: drive (Home folder) is not seen in wireless domain connection
Dell Laptops, testing one is Latitude 5590 Windows 10 version 1803 , are having trouble maintaining the AD assigned H: drive switching between being docked Dell (Hard wired) and going to wireless. In wireless and un-docked the H: drive is not seen. The set command from this test PC shows..
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Users\<AD accountID>
A working unit has these settings 7590 2-1
HOMEDRIVE=H:
HOMEPATH=\
HOMESHARE=\\fc-courtsfile\
End goal is to try and figure out why the AD mapping gets lost from transitioning to wireless. Group policy is not being used to map the H: drive.

Stupid question, if you double click on the drive, does it not just reconnect it?
ASKER
It is not visible in file explorer
So you disconnect it from the network and it immediately removes the drive?

When we are hard wired to a Dell dock (WD15 with 180W Adapter) we see the network drive. Once we disconnect from the dock (logout) and go wireless the drive is not shown once we logout/login. As long as we are logged into the domain we see the drive even while wireless. But as soon as we log out and log back in the drive is no longer seen.
When you log into via wireless, are you logging into the domain or maybe logging into guest wifi?
Also, is this a domain-joined computer? If anything, you should be receiving a message that some drives are not connected when logging in.
