Drive map acting weird through GPO
We are having a really weird issue with mapping a drive through GPO. We used Carbonite Migrate to migrate a server to a new data center. All other functionality is fine. We have a User drive that is mapped through the GPO using the syntax \\servername.domain.local\Users. The drive maps to the user but the weird thing is that it shows a very limited amount of content in the shared folder. If we disconnect and map manually without using the suffix information, the mapping is correct with the correct data. Now we tried to test just through the file explorer and when we use the FQDN it shows some limited version of the shared folder. In the properties the General tab shows nothing, the Network tab shows:
Computer name: this is correct
Computer type: Windows backup
Domain: this is correct
The Offline files tab shows This folder is Offline.
What is happening here with the GPO drive map and how do I trace where this is actually mapping too?
