I'm having an issue and I can't figure out wtf could be causing it.

We moved several machines from an old 2003 domain to a newer 2008R2 domain. A handful (not all) of them are having a problem. When the user logs in the first time, they see their home drive (mapped using the users profile tab in AD) and their shared drives (mapped using GPP). Everything looks good. The next time they log in, their home drive is gone. Reboots don't bring it back. They can go to the path in explorer and access it with no problems and they can manually map it so permissions are fine. If they manually map it and check Reconnect, it will NOT show up after a reboot.

So far it seems like it is only happening on W7 boxes, but not all of them. It isn't a user issue because they can log into a different computer and everything works.

We've moved over LOTS of computers to this domain over the last few years and we've never had this problem until recently.

Oh and changing the drive letter seems to fix it but I'm hesitant to do that since this entire department (large) has always used the same letter. I don't want to "confuse" them...

I'm thinking that maybe the computer is remembering that the drive letter used to be mapped to a different location (old domain & fileserver) and it is somehow conflicting with the new mapping but I can't figure out where that setting/config would be hiding.

Any ideas?

Think I'm in over my head with these CCNA classes. I just can't keep up. There is too much to learn.

The good news is once you've passed the exam you won't need that shit again until the next time you have to take the exam to renew.

my OS drive is filling up. Think it may be making my performance sluggish. Gonna do some cleaning up.
Just aded 4 extra GB ram to it also.

Remove old updates imo, sometimes those shits can add up. Use the disk cleanup wizard or w/e and tell it to delete temp files and update files.

Although the update files thing may only be in W8, I forgets.

That deletes everything on your computer lol

rm = remove command

-r = recursive (all folders)

-f = force (don't ask if it's ok to delete)

/ = root (where to start deleting)

[theholycow]

It's roughly equivalent to this command in Windows:
del /s /q c:\*.*
...except del will fail to delete some stuff, rm won't.

rm = honey badger

A TV commercial came on for these:


They say "go to command.com" and I'm like "it's cmd.exe now!"

Have any of you guys used Filemaker Pro? I've never used it before, mainly because it's made by Apple, but was wondering how user friendly it was.

[stonehenge]

I've heard of it but never actually used it.

I work in IT at a university. A professor called, panicking, asking for us to send someone over immediately. She had taken it upon herself to move her computer to a new office saying "I plugged everything back in now nothing works!"
