I recently tested modifying users home directories with ldifde and via a vbscript.  In the homedirectory attribute I specified \\servername\share\%username%.  The import works but when I look a the home directory field for the user in AD U&C it does not show the variable as being resolved to the users name.  It still appears as \\servername\share\%username%.  If  I remove the last %, then add it back and hit apply, the name is instantly resolved.  Manually adding the path and hitting apply resolves the variable. Has anyone experienced this before? I can't figure out why the variable is not resolved if it was added with a script or ldifde file.
