Using Active Directory, all our users have a folder in a Users directory on our Win Server 2003 file server (ie \\server\Users\jsmith). The folder is mapped and the "My Documents" folder on our users' PCs points to that mapping. Occassionally, when our XP users logon, the mapping has changed to \\server\Users which is where "My Documents" points to. A relogon fixes the problem.

Now, this is occassional, but happens enough to be annoying. Our Windows 2000 users don't have this problem. One theory is that we have four servers as Domain Controllers, three are Server 2003 and the other one is 2000. Possibley this only happens when XP tries to authenticate to the 2000 server, but we haven't had it happen enough to check this. Any ideas?

Thanks!
