homespace missing sometimes

***Xposted because I dont know the relevant group for this problem...

We are a school with 2 sites and 3 domains, we have 4 DC's at the main site
(college) and 3 DC's at the other site with a 10 MB Leased Line between
sites.

All DC's are win 2003 standard.

Sometimes when a user logs in their homespace is mapped incorrectly.

ie; \\server\users\support staff\user is the path but a drive will get
mapped to \\server\users.

Apologies but I crossposted this to several groups because I'm not sure of
the most appropriate one...

This problem seems random, somedays the user logs in and all the drives are
mapped correctly, other times their homespace is mapped incorrectly. If the
user logs off and on again 90% of the time the drive is mapped correctly the
second time (but occaisonally it takes logging off and on several times).

This problem first appeared when servers were all win 2000.

When the problem first appeared users were getting homespace info from AD in
the "profiles" tab:

Connect U: to \\server\users\support staff\%username%

I changed it to a login script:

net use u: "\\server\users\support staff\%username%"

The problem still appeared.

Now the users get their homespace from the login script AND in the "profile"
tab in AD.

I am totally stumped by this and would be grateful if somebody could help me
out.

Thanks,
Gary Valentine
