Lonkero, thank you for the reply. I see you have been around for quite some time. If you read the post again, you will see that I am referring to Windows XP with the map root issue, not Windows 98. I did not explicitly specify that I am not concerned about the home drive mappings in Windows 98.

I already know about the Windows 98 problems but we don't need home drives for the Windows 98 users since the Windows 98 PCs are only used for legacy systems that do not require access to anyone's home drive.

If you do not use the home drive setting in AD, how do you map the drive %username% or @userID?

I have never worked on a Windows network without a home drive setting... Not sure how that will work. I wonder if terminal server requires a home drive in the AD profile...

I still am making the assumption that something is not correct in our AD though. I would like to fix our AD issues in addition to working around the Home Folder issue.

Thanks for the feedback
