Good Morning Everyone and thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. I'm running into a problem in my environment with Windows 7 clients connecting to a Server 2012 Failover Cluster file server share. I am currently migrating our network shares from a Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster File Server that has been working perfectly to a new 2012 Failover Cluster/File Server. Our users network drives are mapped via Group Policy to the correct server and they have been working on the 2008 Failover Cluster File Shares, however when I move the data to the 2012 Cluster and modify the drive mappings in group policy the clients are not picking up the changes. I have looked at the event log of the affected computers and am receiving the following error message:
The user 'P:' preference item in the 'Users - Standard Users {DE4D7B52-B9BB-4237-A2B4-9FE2C9C57B9F}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070035 The network path was not found.' This error was suppressed.
When I map the drive manually or when I try to access the share via UNC path I can access it as the user, but when Group Policy tries to map the drive it does not work. The drive mapping is set to the Update, Run in the User's Context, Filtered Directly
and to remove if not applied. I also made sure that there isn't a trailing \ at the end of the drive mapping. My file share path is \\Servername\FileShare$
Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful, I need to get this fixed so I can finish moving the rest of my data.
