Hi Eric,
A particular CIFS homedirs is only visible if you're logged on as the user whose login is matching the foldername. I've got a similar issue when configuring the home directory in the user manager in our NT 4.0 domain. As I'm not logged on as the user, I can't see his homedir. However, have a look at this, maybe it might help you: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodt echnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/datacenter/gpx_redirectHomeADV.asp

When I attempt, via group policy, to redirect a users "My Documents" folder to their home directory on the filer using the CIFS.HOMEDIR variable I
get
the following error logged on the windows client:
Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The full source path was <C:\Documents and Settings\colinj\My Documents>. The full destination path was <\ccis-windows\net\myhome>. At least one of the shares on which these paths lie is currently offline.
It's not clear to me why it isn't finding the users home directory and unable to mount it.
Is this a known problem? Can it be made to work? I did find one other reference to this in the mailing list archive but there was no posted resolution.
