I recently deleted my user account from ADUC and recreated it (with the same user name). The Group Policy should automatically map the drives, and it did, for one of them. When I look at a GP result it tells me that all of the drive mappings were a success. I tried manually mapping the drives but I get an error, "The network folder specified is currently mapped to a different user name and password...first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share." I have a hunch it's my old account that's blocking me.
A few things to note:
- All 3 folders I'm attempting to connect to (including the one that is successful) on are the exact same file server.
- Running the net use command I only see a connection to the one share that's currently visible
- I went to the "C:...AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Network Shortcuts" folder on my old account to make sure there wasn't anything listed.
-WMIC useraccount get name,sid verifies that the old SID isn't lingering around on the domain
- The old account wasn't deleted from the computer prior to making the new one so under users I now show as [username.domain] rather than just username.
Do I need to completely delete the user account from the C: of the local machine or is there some way to view/manage mappings from the File Server itself?
-Edit: Turns out it really was the most simple problem. In short I took a look at my permissions and realized I had them for one domain but not the other. Once I added that it was fixed.
