Drive mapping rendering

[Guest]

I have one user id which we use to logon to several machines. I noticed that some machines had the full drive mapping folders list and some only had a partial list of folders for the same drive mapping. As I am using the same id for all the machines they will all have exactly the same files/folder rights. Is there an explanation for this?

It depends on how you map your users' shared drives:
- By logon script
- By remembered connections
Since you're not posting your current method, we can't tell.

The user ID runs the login script from a GPO

Time to run some tests:
- Map the drives manually from a Command Prompt, using
a sequence of "net use" commands.
- Execute the logon script from a Command Prompt like so:
\\ServerName\netlogon\netlogon.bat
- Modify your netlogon script like so:
@echo off
if /i %UserName%==ProblemUser echo on
net use s: \\ . . .
. . .
if /i %UserName%==ProblemUser pause

Inser appropriate values for ServerName, netlogon.bat and
ProblemUser.

These three tests should give you a fair idea about the cause
of your problem.
