And this a user bassed policy so in your case it should work.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Well you can just put in: Code: \\%homeshare%%homepath% or Code: \\someserver\users\%username% or something like it. We used the first one and works great. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Doesn't this get set when you set a home folder mapping in the AD users and Computer for the account? Don't have it on my machine at home also but always had it at work. Never looked at it at home actually until just now. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Doh Assumptions are the cause of most failures I guess and I took the bait. Never actually really looked at it on my home comp and just assumed it was a default environment variable The second example should work if %homeshare% does not exist or for some reason can't be used. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

endodave endodave Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2005-08-17 Posts: 101	so here's what's even more interesting now. when i run a resultant set of policies report on my machine, it shows that computer-based policy is indeed applied. however, gpresult shows it is not applied because it has been filtered out. is it possible for both tools to give different results? which one is correct?
