I have been having a weird problem the last couple of days and wanted to see if anyone here has ever had this happen.

Now, I am running simple vb scripts that map different drive letters to the users.

but, I am assigning there home directory via the properties(profile) of each user. what's been happening is when a user logs into the domain, they see all the other users home folders. when they are only supposed to see there own.

e.g. //server1/users/username

if I open up my computer and right click there U:\ and choose disconnect, then reboot everything is fine.

now, it has been about 5 months since the AD server has been rebooted. does anyone know what would cause this to happen?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

 
Thanks..

I wanted to avoid scripting the home directory because my users are spread across multi servers. users in the same OU can all have different home servers. I do this because I put the heavy users on different servers..

thanks

 
OK, so put the heavy users into a global group to indicate the server they use and the other users into another group. You can then use that group membership to determine the server to use as part of your login script.

Refer to my login script FAQ for additional help/code.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark
