I have a bunch of users that log onto a 2012 R2 RDS server,
They get the drives mapped by GPO
A user logs onto the server for the first time (this happens for everyone but first time user is a good example of the issue and proves a few points )
All of their network drives are listed, but show as disconnected
If I click on the network drive I can browse it and it behaves as normal, the state still shows as disconnected
In the event log I am seeing error 4098 in the event log
The user 'G:' preference item in the 'Drive Map - Groups and Personal {D232C94D-D5C9-403D-ADDD-22D88E582B0F}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070055 The local device name is already in use.' This error was suppressed.
If I right click on the drive and say disconnect, I get the error This network connection does not exist yet if I click on it I can browse.
If I issue the net use command is shows me nothing is connected / lists nothing
The bit that really gets be, is this is the first time this user has ever logged onto this server, so
A - there is no way the drive could have already existed
B - The drive IS mapping because it appears and I can browse it
Things I have checked:
- - Tried with UAC both on and off I;ve read this can cause this no change
- - Made sure there is nothing else trying to map the drives there isnt
- -Tried mapping the drives with a Kixstart login script instead of the GPO end result is the same drives appear but disconnected
- - Tried users logging into another server works fine
What is going on with this server that could be causing this?
Thanks in advance
