Hello, we are a school and have 1500 students who can login on 300 computers. We mapped a drive Y to their homedirectory (also redirected). Sometimes a student has no Y-drive. When he logs on to another pc (same model) it's ok. We changed this year from xp to win7. With XP there was no problem... Please help! Hans

Hans <http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/14635/> How are you mapping drives? Via logon scripts, Group Policies or poperties of the user object? Wolfgang

For the homedrive we us the properties of the user object. The folder redirection happens with group policies. We use a logon script to map another drive, this works fine. It is only the homedrive who has problems... H.

H.   Have you set the group policy to contain the following settings "run logon scripts synchronously"; "Maximum wait time for Group policy sripts = 0"; "Allow logon scripts when NetBIOS or WINS is disabled"; "Always wait for the Network at Computer startup and Logon"; "Group Policy slow link detection = 0"; "Scripts policy processing: Enabled / Allow processing across a slow network connection: Enabled / Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed: Enabled" ? These settings help, if you map explicitly via a script in group policies. If you are using preference mappings only the "Always wait for the network at computer startup and Logon" may help. I presume that this is a timing problem. As Windows 7 does not wait for all devices to reduce boot times it is possible that Windows tries the mapping at a time, where the network connection is not yet available. But anyway I'd further check the Event Log, too, for any errors regarding group policy processing.# Wolfgang

Hi, I notice your homedirve is set in the properties of the user object, therefore, I suggest contacting Server Forum to better assistance. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverPN/threads Best Regards, Niki Please remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
