DOH. Sorry, my bad. I wasn't thinking about what I was typing and typed 
netlogon instead of sysvol. No wonder you are confused when you are getting bad 
info.

 Do a dir \\domain\sysvol to demonstrate what I was trying to say about the 
junction point.

C:\Admin\scripts>dir \\xyz\sysvol
 
Directory of \\xyz\sysvol

03/30/2005  07:09 PM    <DIR>          .
03/30/2005  07:09 PM    <DIR>          ..
03/30/2005  07:09 PM    <JUNCTION>     ad.xyz.com

I don't see that ... 

net use 
New connections will not be remembered. 


Status       Local     Remote                    Network

That's my root domain (U:), and my "working" domain (T:). I browsed to 
\\(domain)\netlogon, and then mapped a drive letter to that share. 

Perhaps it's a Win2003 thing? My AD is Win2000. Did I map the drive wrong, or 
should I not be using "net use" to show the mapping? 

Confused it is, that I am. :-)
