bug ?
|
I'm using kixtart with windows 2003 and dfs file share. When i set the users home directory to DomainName\Dfsroot\users\user1 i get the right drive mapping (pointing to user1 on the shared dirctory) from the logon server but @homeshr point only to DomainName\Dfsroot\
Is this a bug? is there a workaround ?
thanks for help

If you set the users home directory, and expect @HomeShr, it must not be in KiX but rather in the user's profile. What you describe is a not a bug but a limitation of the @HomeShr macro in dealing with DFS.

And anyway...is there another way to know what the users home directory is when it resides on a DFS Share ????

My user home folders are on DFS. I did initially try to assign it in the user's profile but ran into some weirdness so now I map it with:
NET USE \\domain.local\DFSRoot\%USERNAME%
both NET USE and USE LIST will report the mappings using DFS nomenclature.

so you don't use the kix use command but step back to the net command ? shell and so on ? then i should use a simple batch file instead of kixtart ? is that what you mean ???

That's what I use. My users run a DOS GPO script that is just a few lines long. No KiX needed to simply map three drives.
I use KiX only for admin scripting, not logon scripting.
