Empty Home Drives
Hi. We have installed Windows 7 Pro in our school over the Summer. I have noticed several times that occasionally Window s7 maps the students home drive to \\server\%username%$ correctly but the homedrive is empty. Under my computer you can see that the P drive shows %username% on Server correctly. I have found that most of the time by disconnecting the P drive using net use p: /del and then reconnecting net use p: \\server\%username%$ it reconnects but not always. The home drives are located on a 2tb server drive and the mapped drive show that it is mapoped to an 80Gb FAT partition somewhere.
If I map a drive to the server that doesn't exist sat net use P \\server\notarealshare$ the P drive is still mapped and also appears to have an 80Gb FAT partition. I suspect that the mapped drive is not connecting to the server but I don't understand why. Any suggestions?
