[resolved] Automatic network drive mappings to shares on fauandi1 are intermittent

UPDATE: fauandi1 automatic drive mapping should now be working for most users following a logoff/logon. Some users may still be affected and we are working with the colleges to resolve.

The OIT-IPSEC-ENABLE GPO was unlinked from the top level OU last night as part of the andisec maintenance. This GPO specified the ‘Configure user Group Policy loopback processing mode’ as ‘Merge’ and it overrode any other GPO with that setting configured. We’re now seeing other colleges and departments with GPOs that specify that setting with ‘Replace’ which breaks the processing of the fauandi drive mapping GPO. We’re advising those colleges and departments to update their GPOs to ‘Merge’ to resolve the issue

 

We are receiving reports of some users not getting their fauandi1 shares mapped automatically. We are currently investigating the issue. As a workaround the shares can still be accessed by manually entering the share path in Windows Explorer.

thank you!
