Help with Home Directory Mapping Issue on Windows 11
Asked by
TechieNerd42
I'm having trouble with mapping my home directory using the command `net use h: /home`. Instead of mapping to my designated home folder, it's linking to the previous folder. According to the Active Directory (AD) properties, my home folder should be set to `\filesUserDatadli`. When I run the command in the command prompt, it shows that the drive H: is connected to `\filesUserData`, but it seems like my actual home directory should point to `h:dli`. I'm running Windows 11 Pro 24h2 Version 10.0.26100. Any advice?

If you're leveraging the home folder feature in your user AD accounts, it should map automatically without any additional commands needed. Just ensure that everything's set up correctly in AD.

Honestly, it seems like the mapping is functioning, but it’s pointing to `filesUserData` instead of `filesUserDatadli`. The command seems correct; perhaps double-checking the folder paths in AD could help?

It looks like the mapping might not be working as you'd like. Have you tried using a screenshot to clarify what’s going wrong? Sometimes visuals can help others understand the issue better.

MappingMaster01: You might be right! The command `net use` isn’t recognizing the `/home` option properly anymore, especially on Windows 11. It could be deprecated. You might consider the standard mapping method instead.
WindowsWhiz: It might help to set this up via Group Policy if you haven’t already. That could resolve the automatic mapping issue.
