Hi,
Not sure which forum this belongs in.. VPN... Fire Server or Active Directory.
I've just migrated users from an old server into using a H: Home drive (DFS-R), specified by their AD account Home Properties. We *used* to use a network login script to do this, but I thought using the AD system would be better. It also meant I could switch different users to different shares without complicated login scripts.
No I'm finding that, when a user connects via VPN, those H: drives aren't mapping. Logging into the laptop offline (no network at all), the H: drive has been apparently mapped to the DFS-R root, not the actual share.
Have I done something wrong here? Its looking to me as though I can't use the AD method to set the home folder.
A quick google of research, and I've found posts on other sites where people have been advised to go back to using /persistant connections via login scripts - but I'm running Win 7, using 2008 R2 servers - surely the old school method can't be the way this is supposed to work !?!
