Hi Mathieu,

I appreciate the assistance. I've reached out to the end user to schedule time for testing. I'll hopefully be able to post an update by Friday.

I was finally able to gain access to the user (busy guy!)

Interesting (if not problematic) findings. . .

 

Windows 10 vs Windows 11

  1. Using his profile on multiple machines, I can confirm that this is not OS or machine specific.
    Windows 11 box exhibited the issue, as did a Windows 10 machine with a fresh profile (first-time login for this user).

  2. An attempt to remap the drive outside of the GPO (dropping and re-adding via net use) failed to resolve the issue.
  3. Confirmed, using my Admin account (with Full permissions to the folder), the issue did not occur.

I cannot have other active/live users test as this is the only user with access to this share.

I'm open to any advice on how to chase this one. I'm stumped!
