When I log into our SBS2003 network from my PC running Windows XP Pro, my Z-drive gets mapped to my home folder on the server (\\servername\users\username).
 
But, when I log into our SBS2003 network from my PC running Windows Vista Business, my Z-drive gets mapped to the upper level users folder (\\servername\users\).
 
I am using the same user account, and running the same logon script.
 
Any idea why the difference?
Any idea how to get my Z-drive to map the same on my Vista PC as my XP PC?
 
Thanks in advance.

is it a %username% variable you have in the home folder path?

It may have initially been typed as \\servername\users\%username%
but right now, it shows as \\servername\users\lwolf

Robert,

There are no events listed in the event logs. I only have 2 PCs running Vista on my Network, and it is happening with both.

have you tried creating a new user and a new folder to test?
