Ah, OK. In that case, create a group. Put the users into the group and set a 
Deny on Apply Group Policy in the ACL for the GPO

I think Joe was trying to stop the group policy that runs a login script from 
taking effect for these users to test out that there wasn't a conflict 
happening.

Joe, this seems to be a long standing problem with Windows, and we've certainly 
had this problem for several years. Every now and then Windows will fail to map 
the users home drive correctly if its been specified on the profile tab. Our 
googling efforts showed quite a few others having the issue from way back in 
2003, and it doesn't appear to have been fixed since then as someone reported 
that it still does it on 2008 (though with a 2003 domain level) .

Check out this thread for starters: 
http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/923771.htm

We resorted to using login scripts to map the drive, this seems to be more 
consistent. Would be interested to know what you find out, as we haven't 
revisited this one in a while.

Is it possible to add exclusions to a group policy?  I'm having an issue with 
some people getting their personal home drives mapped.  When I started here, 
this was done with a login script to a manually created, shared folder.  I've 
always believed that if the tool is provided, you should use it, so I would 
like these drives mapped through ADUC, using the Profile tab.  However, when I 
do this, the user will intermittently not have their home drive mapped at all.  
I haven't changed all users over to the new way, as I need to unshared their 
home directory, copy the current contents to a temp location, delete the 
current folder and allow AD to recreate it with the proper rights.  But I have 
been doing this for all the new employees.  It just so happens that these new 
employees are the ones with the issues, so I would like to exclude them from 
the GPO that does the old login script, to see if the problem goes away.

Great idea, a NAS device will achieve this for you - you can get a 1TB RAID1 
NAS box for a very good price these days, and you can have some shares 
AD-enabled and some share standalone NAS authentication.

can heartily recommend putting up a *nix box on a mirror/span port on
the switch to which your firewall is connected, and running ntop.

I find it the opposite really. Because IT folks are so good at
extrapolation and problem solving, that feeds into other areas. I'll get
a call from Finance asking me to help figure out why their numbers on
this 50 sheet workbook don't match because they were concatenating stuff
back and forth



And we're obviously proficient with all things electronic including the
fax machine. K

This is probably a stereotype that will live on for quite some time, but
it's possible to use the stereotypes to your advantage. I remember one
casual-dress day wearing a T-shirt with my favorite NASCAR driver on it,
threw off pretty much everyone because of course the stereotype of a
NASCAR fan (beer swilling pot belly sister loving blue collar worker
with double-digit IQ) and IT geek aren't exactly similar. Wearing a

nowadays have some kind of outside interests, not related to IT at all.
I still run into one once in awhile who has a home network that they

 If all you're looking to do is see bandwidth usage by protocol, and

 can heartily recommend putting up a *nix box on a mirror/span port on
 the switch to which your firewall is connected, and running ntop.

Anyone experiencing sporadic problems getting to Yahoo over the last couple
days?  We are an ISP and have had reports from customers about this.  The
problem we have in tracking down the cause is that it's very intermittent,
I'll get a customer calling in with this complaint and when I go to look at
it the problem isn't there.

 

DNSStuff.com shows some issues at Yahoo, hoping someone else is having
problems too.

Easy to set up and get going as a packet sniffer, you might want to add

Ya, that's pretty much what I was thinking during this conversation.
However, there are also other drives that are mapped with the same

go.  Do I stay with the old login script for everyone, or do I take the
time to change it all to the ADUC profile tab?  Or, do I just do away
with the personal drive letter all together, since we do have folder
redirection in place for My Documents, going to the exact same place?

I think Joe was trying to stop the group policy that runs a login script
from taking effect for these users to test out that there wasn't a
conflict happening.

 

Joe, this seems to be a long standing problem with Windows, and we've
certainly had this problem for several years. Every now and then Windows
will fail to map the users home drive correctly if its been specified on
the profile tab. Our googling efforts showed quite a few others having
the issue from way back in 2003, and it doesn't appear to have been
fixed since then as someone reported that it still does it on 2008
(though with a 2003 domain level) .

 

Check out this thread for starters:
http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/923771.htm

 

We resorted to using login scripts to map the drive, this seems to be
more consistent. Would be interested to know what you find out, as we
haven't revisited this one in a while.

Is it possible to add exclusions to a group policy?  I'm having an issue
with some people getting their personal home drives mapped.  When I
started here, this was done with a login script to a manually created,
shared folder.  I've always believed that if the tool is provided, you
should use it, so I would like these drives mapped through ADUC, using
the Profile tab.  However, when I do this, the user will intermittently
not have their home drive mapped at all.  I haven't changed all users
over to the new way, as I need to unshared their home directory, copy
the current contents to a temp location, delete the current folder and
allow AD to recreate it with the proper rights.  But I have been doing
this for all the new employees.  It just so happens that these new
employees are the ones with the issues, so I would like to exclude them
from the GPO that does the old login script, to see if the problem goes
away.

That made my day! 

 

I wanted to let them know how much I appreciated their site, so I
