User home folder name remains when another user is re-mapped

[Guest Techhead]

If user A logs into a computer, the "H" drive is mapped to his/hers

home folder and displays the name of the folder that it is mapped to.

Example, bjohnson on 'fileserver' (H:). If user B logs in, "H" is re-

mapped to this users folder but the name of the folder still remains

as user A. If you open up "H", you see user B's files but the name of

the mapped folder is still user A. It's almost like it's cached.

 

Is there some king of registry setting to clear this kind of cache?

 

I force the disconnect and the mapping is not persistent.

 

Any ideas?

Are you using offline files?

Are you using a login script?

No offline files and yes, I am using a login script. The script

forcefully disconnects the H drive from the previous user and re-maps

the new user with no persistency.

Hmmm....very odd. You might post the login script contents.

If, during the session, you run the login script again, does it fix the

problem?
