Guest NetGoofy Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Not sure which Group to post this. All network users "Home Directories" are configured in AD under the Profile Tab H: - \\servername\users\%username% I have a few (2 to 4) users that receive an "Access Denied" message when they attempt to open thier (H:) drive. This doesn't happen all the time - it is very spartic. All I do to correct the issue is disconnect the (H:) drive and re-map it and unchecking the "connect at login" option - because I know it will reconnect because of thier profile settings when they login - and it does. They don't have to reboot/logout-login or anything of that nature. By just being able to re-map the drive tells me that thier authentication is ok. Someone suggested it was LAN Traffic Bottleneck possible issue - however; we have a gigabit backbone (clients are 100) but only have 40 users, all on cisco equipment, so i really don't see that being the issue. Any suggestion would be much appreciated. This is not a big issue because I can simply re-map them - but it is aggrivating to not know what is causing this just for a few users. I have even gone so far as to replace one particular user - but it still happens to her every once in a while.

As workaround put a little cmd file on their desktop containing: @echo off net use h: /delete net use h: \\server\users\%username% Best greetings from Germany Olaf
Guest NetGoofy Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: "Access Denied" for Home Directories Yes, all good - but still just curious what is "really" going on - thinking it may be a bigger issue than appears on the surface.
