Guest Dabwang4363 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Hi everyone, this has been puzzling me for a while now and i cant find a solution. This only seems to happen to laptop users who disconnect their machines from the network frequently. i myself have a laptop which is permantly connected and i never get this error. Sometimes one of these users will log onto the network and their folder redirection is not pointing to the usual server location but to the standard c:\documents and settings\..... The only way to get this back is to do a GPUPDATE /FORCE and this doesnt always work first time. the only 2 common factors that i have found is that this sometimes happens when the user has changed their domain password or are using a external 3G data card but not always i'm guessing GP isn't being applied but a GPRESULT shows that it is. this only ever hppens with laptops, mainly using wireless and moving on / off the network frequently any help would be great thanks Nigel

Note that m.p.windows.group_policy might be a better group for this question, however.
