Hello,

A few days ago I implemented Kixtart 4.23 for our login script processor. I have already migrated all our login scripts. We have both Windows 98 and Windows XP workstations.

Today I was debugging a problem with some new users that we have on our new file server. We are map rooting the user's home folder on the new file server.

In Active Directory (Windows 2000 Native) with Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 directory servers, my particular home folder is mapped I: to \\nrsfs01\users\kghammond.

When I run my kix script on my Windows XP SP2 PC, @HOMESHR = \\nrsfs01\users. In the same script, %HOMESHARE% = \\nrsfs01\users\kghammond.

Related to that, when I echo the enviornment variables, the are correct:
N:\>echo %HOMEPATH%
\

N:\>echo %HOMEDRIVE%
I:

N:\>echo %HOMESHARE%
\\nrsfs01\users\kghammond

But, if I run the command:
net use I: \home, it maps to \\nrsfs01\users

If I run the commmand:
net use %HOMESHARE%, it maps to \\nrsfs01\users\kghammond


In addition, when I logon to my Windows XP SP2 workstation or our Windows 2000 Terminal Server, my I: drive does not automatically map as it is supposed to from the Home Folder setting in my active directory profile.

So I assume this is an Active Directory issue that is not reporting the proper Home Folder path settings. I can easily work around it by replacing @HOMESHR with %HOMESHARE%.

In addition though, if I manually map I: in my kix script using %HOMESHARE%, Do I need to be careful about the OS trying to map I: as part of the Home Folder profile settings?

Thank you,
Kevin Hammond
