We have a recent issues where the users Home drive, mapped via their profile
for Home drive is only mapping to the share level ie \\server\home\ and no
\\server\home\%username%.

This is a very recently problem and appears to be only occuring on XP
desktops. Doesn't seem to be an issue on terminal server profiles. All this
as worked for 3 year before this problem started occuring. Could this be a
client side patch?

This is a known issue - enable "always wait for network at computer startup
and logon" in group policy and make sure it applies to all workstations.

Thanks - I have now set this. Any idea why this would start occuring after
three years? Had 4 instance in the last week and nothing previously.

I'm not sure, but I know it's an issue and this policy setting is always
recommended. I've seen it happen intermittently as well.
