Drive mapping problem


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Here is a brief description of my problem. Every once in a while (like once

avery 3-4 months) I have a very strange problem. One of my user (I have 900

of them) is unable to map network drive via my login script or map the

printer who are host on the same server. The weird thing is that my login

script do not only map ressources from this server. And every other map

drive are mapped without problems.

 

I do not have any lead on the event log of the client computer, the server

who does'nt share his ressources or the DC.

 

I first tought it might be a SID problem cause if I copy the user from the

AD and recreate it with the same login and group membership everything is

working fine. The problem with that solution is that i have to copy

EVERYTHING he had in his profile on each computer he was using.

 

If you guys have ANY lead it would be very appreciated !!!

Hello Pascal,

 

If you create a domain user account with the same settings like the other,

i would say it is not the user account itself having problems. Did you use

userprofiles stored on the server? Is the user working on a terminal server

or on a local workstation that is domain member?

 

Best regards

RE: Drive mapping problem

 

Pascal,

 

I agree with Meinolf that it doesn't sound like an account problem...

 

If you are getting profile loading problems, you might try loading UPHClean

on the workstations to ensure that they are unloaded correctly.

 

Also as a time save, you could try changing the path in the ProfileList key

on the local machine's registry to recopying the profile... just to save

time.

 

Good luck.

Hello Pascal,

 

Thank you for using newsgroup!

 

From your post, does the issue occur on all other workstations when you log

on them using this problematic user account?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Re: Drive mapping problem

 

Hi,

The problem is not with the local profile. It's when The user is running

the login script, one of the map drive (wich is on a windows 2k3 standard

edition SP1,(let's call him Server X =D)) refuse to connect. Server X, who

is sharing files is also sharing printers, and it's impossible for this user

to use the ressources on that server. But all the other drive I am mapping

in my logon script (which map ressources on other servers) are working

properly.

If I use that user on a computer he never connected before I have the same

issue....

That's why I first tought it could be a user problem....

Here is another thing I tried. If I manually try mapping a drive Server X,

it's not working either. so it seems like an authentification problem or

something like that between my client user and my server X.

 

Thank you all !!!

Re: Drive mapping problem

 

Hi Pascal,

 

If the problem is occurring on this only user account, it may be caused by

the corrupted user profile. I suggest you try to recreate the user account

to test the issue again.
