Access denied to users home folder

[Guest]

We have started to experience a problem with users receving an access denied
error when access their mapped home folder through the explorer.

The users have XP Pro w/SP2 on a Windows 2003 domain. The home folder is
setup a part of their AD profile. They had accessed the home folder
previously as part of a login script. Their home folder is located on a
NetApp filer.

In the AD profile their home directory is mapped to the U drive and uses the
path
\\nas1\huser\users\johndoe

The users can open a command prompt and access the home folder without any
problems.

I ran the net use command and found two U drives were mapped simultaniously.
U: \\nas1\huser
U: \\nas1\huser\users\johndoe

This is very strange. Has anyone else experienced this problem.

use net use * /d to disconnect all mapping and re-logon. Can you access the home folder?

I have tried to disconnect but I received and access violation error.

The U: \\nas1\huser\users\johndoe was successfully disconnected, but the U:
\\nas1\huser\ was not. I had the user reboot and whe was then able to access
the U: drive. Very intermittent problem.

after net use * /d, do you have U mapping if you using net use command?

Bob,
I have tried to remove all mapped drives, but the rogue U drive
(\\nas1\huser) still exists. I received and access violation error when I
tried to remove this drive. I is like some file/process is still accessing
this drive.

Strange thing is I have other mapped drives to the same filer and they do
not have any issues, only the user's home drive that is configured in the AD
properties.

I thought it might have been a permission issue. Twice I would go into the
AD remove/re-add the user's home directory to reset the permissions. This did
work. Later I would be at the user's computer and receive the access denied
when accessing the U drive from explorer. I then opened a command prompt and
mapped another drive letter to the user's home directory, using the same
contact as the U drive. I found the new drive letter Z would access the home
drive successfully, but the U drive was still receive the access denied.

Thanks.

Home Drive not mapping on NetApp over VPN

I'm having this same issue, home drives map but not over VPN. Although I can map it to another letter or access the UNC Path just fine. Running a NetApp 3040c with CIFS and the share is set to users home drive in ADUC Profile.
