Hi Geza
Thanks for the clue.

I specified
homeDrive: Z:
homeDirectory: \\hh32\home\user
profilePath: \\hh32\profiles\user

Is that what you mean? If so, it works.

That's great for users, but Administrator can't access the shares. He 
always gets a logon prompt. Even with the correct username and password 
he still cannot access any share on \\hh32

Anyway, great news for the users. Need to get Administrator sorted out.
Cheers and thanks again,
Steve
