I’ve created a share folder in our domain and published it. I then wanted to automatically map a drive letter “P:” for our users to access. With in the “Public Share” folder, they have their own personal folder that they can share files with the rest of the staff. I followed Microsoft’s instruction: “http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=320043” Home folder • Connect P: To: \\Domain\Public share It says as follows: Assign a Home Directory to a Local User To assign a home directory to a domain user: 1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management. 2. In the console tree, click Users in Local Users and Groups. 3. Click the user account that you want to work with. 4. Click Action, and then click Properties. 5. Click the Profile tab, click Connect, and then specify a drive letter. 6. In the To box, type a path. • You can use a network path, such as: \\server\users\tester • Or a local path, such as: c:\users\tester • You can substitute %username% for the last subdirectory in the path, such as: \\server\users\%username% This is no brainier – right? Then how is it that certain users get the P drive when they log in and some users require a couple reboots before it shows up? And, some folders that I’ve created for the staff do not see the folders? Any help is appreciated.

Do they have read permissions into the folder?

Yes and they have modify/write permission to subfolders.

Are any of the users members of another group that has deny permissions set on the folder?

What are the permissions on the public share? It should be on the tab in which you created your share, there is a button which says permissions.

On the public share permissions, it only has one group, "Everyone", and it has "Full Control" permission. On the Security tab, its got Administrators, CREATOR OWNER, SYSTEM, and Users. The Users only have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read. I only want the users to access the share Public folder and Don't want them to freely create any subfolders in the public (per Management). But, they have read and modify rights within the Public subfolders. That should do it - right?
