Network drives don't get mapped and desktop redirection stops working when domain user becomes a member of the Local Administrator group on their PC
- by Kim Jong-Un
We have a Small Business Server 2003 domain controller with Windows 7 workstations joined to the domain.
I noticed recently that, if I make a user a local administrator on his computer, his redirected desktop and mapped network drives do not connect at login (error on login that network drives inaccessible and desktop is blank).
However, it is still possible for this user to browse to his home directory where his redirected folders are located- so he still has access to that location.
Does anyone have any theories as to what is going on here?
