Comment 52 for bug 286828

A warning about the "msdfs root = no" workaround: This broke some of the drive mappings on Windows clients. Shares that are mapped via "NET USE" (like in a logon script) don't seem to be affected - a name is a name - but connections manually set up through the GUI seem to store some additional information and had to be reconnected manually. So much about network transparency *sigh*

I took the occasion and set up a logon script which does all the mappings. This repaired some of the broken mappings automatically, but some mappings still had to be disconnected manually. There seem to be some other factors involved. Very weird.

I still think disabling an unused and broken feature is a good idea anyway, but do some thorough testing and be prepared for having to fix some issues manually.
