file migration wizard

[Guest john]

i am migrating files using MS file migration wizard, they all copied fine i

unchecked stop sharing source folders, but just had some users say they can,t

access there home folder when logging on and this message is displayed:

 

"WARNING: Home directory unavailable.

a problem has occured and your network home directory is not available.

this maybe because a network file server is offline.

you have been logged on with a temporary home drive which may be shared with

other users.

files you save here are not secure and may not be available next time you

log on.

if this problem persists please contact your system administrator."

 

i have stoped the wizard before it stopped finalising source server to stop

this happing to all accounts. have checked folder permissions, AD paths etc

nothing different from accounts that do have access and those that do not and

no leads on-line?

Re: file migration wizard

 

Some clients could be tryign to access the old server (cached). Try adding

an entry in the HOSTS file to the correct server, or flushdns and renew the

networka adapter.

 

You can also verify if the clients are trying to access the correct machine.

To verify, do a ping of the hostname and see if it resolves to the correct

IP address.
