Hello All,When trying to use a GPO to map a drive (on xp sp2 and 3 clients) based until membership of a group, it does not fully completeHave created a GPO called MapDrive- Under User Config.>Preferences>Windows Settings> Drive Maps- Set Action= Replace, and it to map to \\Servername\share\%username% if the user is a member of group XYZ (common tab> Item-Level Targeting)What occurs is that the correct drive maps to\\Servername\share\ , but not to sub folder which is the username.To get the GPO to work this far- Have to had to install patch Client Side Extentions (CSE) KB943729for XP installed- I have also set a policy to Wait for Network connection before login (this solves a similar non mapping issue with the home folder that you can set the path in the user account object)Any ideas why else the complete drive mapping would not work or have a work around?Cheers,Schmills1 person got this answerI do too

ThanksThahaseena M,Actually i have found that there was not an issue with what i had done, it actually worked.What i have found is when you map a drive via gpo to a subfolder, e.g.\\servername\share\subfolderwhat is displayed is\\servername\share , but it actually does map directly to the subfolder. In the GPO you can create a label for the drive, so in my case i created a label StorageFor_%username%, which then displays the user who has been assigned to the folder, wihch is what i wanted.My original mail may still help those who are having issues with1. Home folder not mapping fully2. The CSE patch for HP is required for mapping drives via GPO.Cheers,Philip
