So here is the issue at hand.
I have several domains across a WAN environment and just recently I started noticing something odd between all my Domain Controllers. Every Site in my company has a DC on site for redundancy, each server has a “Users Folder” and in there are all the users that work at that site so something like this.
USERS >
> csmith
> msmith
> lsmith
And so on… There could be anywhere from 25 users to 120 in one site alone. Now when a users logs into their PC I have the U: Drive mapped to their user folder \\servername\Us ers\%user% “I have exact users in the place of %user%”.
The folders are mapped to the U: Drive thru the AD properties on a user "Home Folder" Using the "Connect function"
So when the they log into their system they can access there user folder, now I changed the path of My Documents to the U: Drive which is the above path. Normally everything works just fine a user logs into their PC and they open My Documents and there is all there documents off the server.
However lately every once in a great while I get a phone call with a user complaining that when they open there “My Documents folder” they see the entire “Users” directory and they can navigate to their fold from there. However it shouldn’t be doing this. The path is direct, so why is it doing this in random events? Do I need to put a hold for script loads in GPO’s?
The other thing I noticed it will bring over files from the users local “My Documents” and place them in the “Users” directory… So every now and again I find myself cleaning out the directors on all my server which is becoming a real pain!
Does anyone have any insight on this issue? Maybe something I can fix thru a GPO setting or permissions?
Any brain storming or direct answers will be greatly appreciated. This one has stumped me for awhile now.
Thank you,
Chris
