Well.. Since I can't connect to the '/home' share, I don't get much out of it all..

Vista Business SP1:
C:\Users\anders>net use * /home
Det går inte att identifiera användarens arbetskatalog.

Du kan få mer hjälp genom att skriva NET HELPMSG 3915.

C:\Users\anders>set home
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Users\anders


And on one of the WinXP machines:
J:\>net use * /home
Det går inte att identifiera användarens arbetskatalog.

Du kan få mer hjälp genom att skriva NET HELPMSG 3915.


J:\>set home
HOMEDRIVE=J:
HOMEPATH=\
HOMESHARE=\\beata\anders
