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
