Thanks for reading. I have one XP machine that will not map down to the
users folder either through GP or batch files. Ex: I am trying to get the
mapped drive to \\server\users\username But it will only map to users. I
would like it to map via AD profile down to the users name. It is not a user
or permissions issue because it works on every other machine whether XP or
2K. Just this one laptop, no matter who logs in. I can hard map the
computer and it works so it is not a location issue. Any ideas. Thank you!
 
You are doing it wrong !

Lets say that you have users;
john
tom
jane

Create directories...
\\server\users\john
\\server\users\tom
\\server\users\jane

Share the directories;
john, tom and jane
as Hidden Shares;
john$, tom$ and jane$

Then use; net use p: %USERNAME%$

Thanks for the post Dave, guess you did not understand. This is one PC out
of over 500 that is having this issue. I have domain accounts with shares
to the user folder working for all other PCs except this one, this includes
batch files, Group Policy logon scripts and map permissions in the users
profile. All other 300+ user accounts map down to the users folder, i.e.
smithj, johnsonl, thompsonp, but this one laptop will only map to the users
folder no matter who logs in. Even if wilkinsp logs into 10 other machines
he is mapped to the right folder, but on this one laptop the problem occurs.
If I hardmap it to \\server\users\wilkinsp it works fine and the user clicks
on the link to get to his folders. The map to the \\server\users still
works, but then the user has to click this link and then his wilkinsp
folder. Any other thoughts? Thanks again!
