Hi,When I try and access the following folder, "\\boss\users$" in explorer I get a network error. 0x80070035 "The network path was not found."However when I use the FQDN \\<companyname.boss.local\users$ it works.Note, I can use \\boss to see and access the other network shares fine.I also think this is may also be the cause of another problem. I cannot install any programs because I get the an error 1324, "The path My Documents contains an invalid character." The My Documents folder on my machine is set via group policy to use "\\boss\users$\<UserName>\My Documents"Anyone know how to fix this? Using Windows 7 build 7000 (Vista upgrade)ThanksNeal

That should have been \\boss.<companyname>.local\users$ not \\<companyname.boss.local\users$Neal

I suspect a DNS problem. Can you post the results of "nslookup boss" and "ping boss"?Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience
