Hi There.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on what the problem is with my
Home Folder configuration for AD Users.

We are running Windows 2000 Server SP3 AD DC's and Windows XP SP2
clients. In the user properties the "Home Folder" drive is set to
"H:" and the path ser to "\\domain_name\dfsroot$\sharename\%username%"

When a user logs in drive H: is then connected to
"\\domain_name\dfsroot$" instead of the %username% folder beneath the
shared folder.

If I do an "echo %homeshare%" it returns the correct path of
"\\domain_name\dfsroot$\sharename\%username%"

If I do an "echo %homepath% it returns the correct value of "\"

If I do an "echo %homedrive% it returns the correct value of "H:"

So I'm not sure whats going wrong. I've also set the "Connect home
directory to root of the share" GPO setting to "disabled" just in case
soething was getting a bit confused, but still no joy. I've checked
the event logs on the DC's and the clients an niether show any
problems.

If someone could help on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
