Hi, I would like to confirm the following questions first: 1. Do you change any Share or NTFS permissions for these mapped folders? 2. Does this new user account is in the same groups as the corrupted one? 3. Can you access the mapped folders directly from the client computer with the new account? It looks like the new created user account is not in the groups which have Share or NTFS permissions of the mapped folders. Based on the current situation, I would like to suggest you perform the following test: 1. Right click on the folder you want to share and click “Properties”. 2. Click the “Security” tab and “Edit” button. 3. Click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 4. Highlight “Everyone”, check “Full Control” for “Allow” and click “OK”. 5. Click “Sharing” tab and “Advanced Sharing” button. 6. Check “Share this folder” box, click “Permissions” button. 7. If “Everyone” is listed, please highlight it and check “Full Control” for “Allow” 8. If “Everyone” is not listed, please click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 9. After that, please repeat the Step 7. What’s the result? If it works, please verify both Share and NTFS permissions for these mapped folders.

I wasnt sure where to post this so since I started in AD on the server I will post here and see what happens. I had a corrupt user and had to create a new profile for them I created the new profile and copied the old to the new folder by folder. There were 3 drives that were mapped after creating the new profile I could only map to one of the former drives. When I try to map to the other drives it gives me a network error... you dont have permissions to do this. I dont have any group policies set preventing this no group this person is to be in or not be in... The user computer is windows 7 pro the user has admin rights, I even added domain rights..I added them to the group under the security tab on the shared folder Iam trying to map to and gave them full privledges. What else can I do does this have something to do with the SID? If so can I make the new sid like the old one? Thanks in advance for you time and help. Mi32

Milos, Thanks for your help as to your questions It is not clear what "corrupt" user is and if you created new one, Yes I created a new one 2. It is not clear, where you created profile, On the server in AD because usually the new profile on the server is created, when user is login and logoff and the roaming profile is set. 3. Some profile folders and files are are hidden and are not copied properly unless you do appropriate measures. What are the appropriate measures? 4. Windows XP and 7 profiles are different ones not only in strucrure, but in how they should be managed. This is why sysprep is used - at least for the copy of profile. How do i do a sysprep? please explain this process as I am unaware? 5. Why do you not created new account, take the default profile and adapt it for the new admin? I did this but I just copied the default to the new what do you mean by ADAPT??? Thanks again for your time and help

1. It is not clear what "corrupt" user is and if you created new one, or simply change the profile of existing administration account. If you created new admin account, then you have a new user with new security identity. 2. It is not clear, where you created profile, because usually the new profile on the server is created, when user is login and logoff and the roaming profile is set. 3.
