Howto subst a local drive with group policy ?

Hi,

I encounter unexpected difficulties in creating a subst drive map using group policy.
the server has recently migrated from sbs 2011 to windows 2016.
All policies have been transferred and are working bar one.

The aim is a very simple "subst w: c:\" on the workstations (win10Pro) but not on server TS16 (see picture)

( create drive letter w: to the c: root in order to get a legacy application working)

It's part of a drivemap policy of 7 - the other 5 are network shares, the 6th is the W drive on server TS16 which must point to %homedrive%%username% - these all work

I tried Drive Map policy with and without user security context > without success

I tried putting the subst command in a logon script >> without success

As a temporary brute method, I've put on each workstation a local startupscript to get the Wdrive letter. (although even this does not seem stable ??)

As reason for my troubles, I suspect the System account startup environment and/or UAC messing with me.

This should not be that hard, any suggestions?

regards
