I'm using UEM 9.7 and am just building my environment in a test lab. I am trying to put all User based settings in UEM as per the VMWare recommendation.
We use DFS / DFSR extensively for file shares both for site awareness and fault tolerance.
I have a single namespace for user home drives. In native GPP I can have a drive mapping to \\server\share\%Logonuser% .
I have tried repeatedly in UEM to map a drive but it only seems to accept \\server\share . If I put anything past that, even a hard folder path, the mapping does not succeed.
Is this something that is not available in UEM?
If I have to go back to GPP for drive maps do I have to worry about execution timing as I intend to use the users home drive for UEM folder redirection ?
Thanks.

Try \\server\share\%username% instead \\server\share\%Logonuser% and let me know the result.

Yeah .. I thought of that too. It doesn't work. Even if I hard code the folder to a single test user folder the UEM drive map does not succeed.

What does the log says? Enable debugging and see why it is not successful.
Hi Chandlar,
In addition to cbaptiste's notes on using %USERNAME% and checking the log – I just tried the following, and that works:
So a couple of things ....
I checked the logs and sure enough I was getting an "access denied" to \\server\share\myfolder in the UEM log.
My oversight ... I had full rights to the target shared folder but did not have any access to the DFS namespace.
So I then changed the UEM drive mapping to \\server\share\%LogonUser% and UEM give a Network path not found error.
I then changed it to \\server\share\%Username% and it worked fine .
Thanks
Chandlar
Great. Glad you got it working.
